Annual Fall Cleanup

2025 Fall CleanUp!

It’s time to discard your unwanted items (junk) from your home, yard, shed, garage, & basement.

Our crew and trucks cover over 200 miles of road during the 7-week Town Cleanup event. Please look at your schedule carefully and have your junk and yard waste out on the roadside prior to the start of your week. We will only pick up once for junk and once for yard waste during your week, we can not come back as it takes us the entire week to complete each fire district.

Examples of acceptable items: Sofa, chairs, box spring, washer, dryer, toys, scrap wood, plumbing fixtures, lawn furniture, grill, carpeting, dry empty paint cans without lid. Glass items like windows and mirrors, but please tape or wrap in plastic to avoid them from shattering.

Brush:   MUST be piled separately from Junk and will be picked up during your scheduled Fall Cleanup week.  Branches must be 6 inches in diameter or less and no more than 8 feet in length. Please stack neatly away from fences, power poles and low wires.  

Leaves & Yard Waste:   MUST be in paper leaf bags or cardboard boxes.  No plastic bags will be picked up as they are not biodegradable and cannot be composted.  No stones, dirt or trash of any kind in bags please. 

Please Note:  Brush and yard waste will not be picked up again until after all 7 fire districts are completed.   OCRRA’S Amboy and Jamesville compost sites are open for residents to take yard waste if you need to dispose of sooner. Call for more information.
