Items cannot weigh more than 75 pounds per container.

Only residential customers can participate in the cleanup.

Grass, leaves and yard waste should be bagged separately.

Brush and limbs should be bundled in 4-foot lengths and weigh no more than 75 pounds.

Appliances must be at the curb and doors must be removed.

No concrete, logs or railroad ties will be collected. Swing sets must be broken down.
