This service is provided annually and is held the week immediately following the Spring City Wide Garage Sale.
The City crews begin on one side of town and go up and down the streets until they have covered the entire
town one complete time.  Please Note: They will not make any additional trips.This means items must be to
the curb by 7:00am on Monday. Crews will not pick up hazardous waste. Those items will need to be taken
to the County Barn. Please see additional information below about how to sort your items and what is
considered hazardous waste.

If you miss getting your items out Monday please be sure to call the City Office to arrange for a "Special
Pick Up"on the Wednesday after Clean Up Week. Residential utility customers may have three (3) special
pick-ups annually. After three there will be a $15.00 charge for special pick ups. If the items left remaining
are brush or leaves the standard fee to remove those items will be charged.

Brush, leaves or items left in the yard or at the curb is a violation of the City’s Nuisance Code and will result
in a letter and possible fine. The number of Clean up Weeks that follow the annual City Wide Sales has been
limited to only one annually. So although there will be a Fall City Wide Sale there will not be a Fall Clean-up Week.
