4/10/2026

Spring Clean Up will be on April 28th and 29th.

Please put all items curbside no later than 6:00 a.m. on 28 April.

Collection of Bulk Items

Special pick-ups are available for large, bulky items that cannot fit in garbage containers for regular garbage collection. If your items are greater than what would fit into a standard F150 truck bed (8'x8'x2'), then you may have to schedule an additional pick-up. Each pick-up will be for one truckload or less. Entire house cleanouts will require a dumpster.
