MANHATTAN - The City of Manhattan's Spring Cleanup Week is just around the corner.
The City announced that Spring Cleanup will be March 27th through the 31st.
The City of Manhattan has partnered with local refuse contractors to haul most yard waste items away for free.
The City only will pick up yard waste, tree limbs, and branches if they are properly bagged and stacked as follows:
- Place all yard waste (grass clippings and leaves) in yard waste paper bags, available at many local retailers. If you use plastic bags, we won’t pick it up!
- Create separate piles on the curb for yard waste and for limbs and branches.
- Stack branches in a loose pile; don't use rope or twine to tie them together. Do not mix scrap lumber and branches. Scrap lumber will be picked up by participating refuse contractors on your regular trash pickup day and location.
- Have your items on the curb and ready for pickup by 7 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day. Crews will only check each area once!
Items not accepted for removal during Spring Cleanup include: major household appliances, tires, batteries, concrete or rock rubble, construction or demolition debris, or household hazardous waste.
