  • Weird items: garden gnome collection, broken grandfather clock, taxidermy items

There will be no yard waste trucks available this year.

What are some of the restricted items that the Cleanups do not take?

  • Common restricted items include barbecues, lawnmowers, household chemicals and large appliances. We DO
    NOT accept these.
  • Not all items can be accepted at Community Cleanups as they cannot go in the garbage truck to be disposed
    of. Garbage trucks will not accept:
  • car batteries
  • glass (window panes, glass table tops, etc.)
  • household appliances with freon (refrigerator, freezer)
  • microwaves
  • liquids (cooking oil)
  • household hazardous waste (propane tanks, paint)
  • automobile/cleaning/healthcare/gardening chemicals
  • railway ties
  • sod or dirt
  • Check with your Community Association in advance of the event as they MAY bring in other vendors to
    receive items not accepted by City trucks.
  • Household hazardous waste materials can be brought directly to a household hazardous waste drop-off location.

Technotrash will also be there to collect all your electronic waste like old TVs, computers, printers and the rest of your electronic junk and Copage Metal will be collecting all things metal.
