Annual Fall Cleanup


2024 FALL CLEANUP SCHEDULE

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

Our crew and trucks cover 200+ miles of road during the 7-week Town Cleanup. Please look 

at the 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.
