SPRING CLEAN UP WEEK IS MAY 7-11, 2012

The City will collect reasonable household quantities of appliances, brush, furniture, etc. for free during this annual collection. The process is simple--put your items out on your refuse day where you normally place your garbage by 7:00 a.m. and the City will take them. If you choose to haul them yourself, the landfill has extended hours from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. from May 5 to May 12, 2011 (except Sunday, May 6, 2011).
