Spring and Fall Clean-up Instructions

Clean-up at homes where normal garbage pick-up is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, will take place on May 3, May 4 and May 5, the same days as normal garbage collection. Residents whose garbage is collected on Thursday or Friday will have their spring clean-up items picked up on May 13 and May 14.

Residents should place their Spring Clean-up items at the curb with their garbage after 6:00 PM, the night before their regularly scheduled pick-up.

Clean-up items should be contained in plastic garbage bags.

Regular garbage will be picked up as usual during Spring Clean-up, however, no recyclables will be collected during the first week of the clean-up effort on May 3-7. Plastics (not paper as published in error on the recycling calendar) will be recycled in the second week, May 10-14.

The utility will accept landfill disposable items weighing less than 40 pounds and easily handled by one person including: clothes, dishes, glassware, pots & pans, toys, wallpaper, carpet remnants cut in small pieces, old lawn furniture, garden hoses and so forth.

Metal and wood items must be taken to the South County Transfer Station on South Work Street in Falconer for disposal. Hours for the South County Transfer Station are available by calling 665-6894.

Yard waste only may be taken to the Fluvanna Avenue Yard Waste Site which is open from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Saturdays. Construction material and lumber must be taken to the South County Transfer Station or the Ellery Landfill.

There is a fee for large item and electronics curbside pickup. Call the Garbage Hotline at 661-1651 in advance to arrange an appointment for proper disposal of large items such as mattresses, couches, refrigerators, recliners, stoves, etc. and electronics such as televisions, computer monitors and microwaves. Residents are at risk of additional charges or penalties if these items are placed at the curb without an appointment.
