2010 Clean-Up Week
June 21, 2010 - June 25, 2010
This annual event allows each single family residence to place up to 2 cubic yards of trash or unwanted items on the curb on their regularly scheduled pick-up day during the clean-up week. Please note that this clean-up event is only for Residential Customers.
Please have your extra trash or items out by 6 a.m. as we will be using additional collection vehicles that may arrive earlier or later than your regular collection truck. The special trucks will be the ones collecting all of the extra items and garbage. Each truck has specific responsibilities and may not take all of your items. Some trucks take all of the extra trash, while others take the e-waste, metal, and appliances.
Your regular trucks will only be providing their regular services. Please do not place your extra garbage in your recycling or green waste cans as those drivers will have no way of knowing that you have done so.
Please call our office at 238-2381 with any questions.
What is equivalent to 2 cubic yards?
2 cubic yards is equivalent to one of the following:
- 12 32-gallon standard trash cans, not to exceed 60 pounds each
- 12 bundles four feet or less in length, not to exceed 60 pounds each
- 2 bulky items
- 1 bulky item and 6 32-gallon cans/bundles.
Bulky Items & E-Waste
