Spring Cleanup

Clean up your basement, garage, yard, or home during the Spring Cleanup. 

This is a great opportunity to dispose of bulky, unwanted items that are not routinely collected by your trash hauler.

Residents who pay trash services monthly are eligible to participate in the cleanup. Living within city limits qualifies residents for the program. Apartments and some townhomes may not be included in the program, so contact your management or homeowner's association to see if they pay for the service.
