Residential Spring Cleanup Week - April 26-30
April 26, 2010
Clean up your garage and yard during Residential Cleanup Week, April 26 - 30, and set out as much trash and recycling as you want. No overflow stickers are needed.
Each year, the City offers two weeks of overflow trash collection service: the first full week after Christmas and the last full week of April. This allows residents to dispose of larger amounts of waste typically generated during the winter holidays and spring cleanup. Residents can set out as much trash as they want but all waste must be in wheeled carts or 20- to 32-gallon trash cans. No overflow stickers are needed.
To help residents get the most out the cleanup week, Allied Waste and Boise City offer the following tips:
- Make sure your trash and recycling are out by 7:00 a.m. on your regular service day.
- Extra trash must be in 20-32 gallon trash cans.
- Yard wastes must be in compostable paper leaf bags or in 20-32 gallon trash cans.
- The maximum weight limit cannot exceed 60 pounds for each extra trash can and paper leaf bag set out for collection.
- Large items such as appliances and furniture can be collected by calling Allied Waste at 345-1266 to schedule a free pickup.
- Televisions, computer monitors, and batteries must be taken to a household hazardous waste mobile collection site.
- If Residential Cleanup Week falls on your normal recycling week, remember, recycling is always unlimited—no “overflow stickers” required! Set extra recycling out in containers labeled “Recycling” or order a second recycling cart.
