The City of Elizabethtown will assist residents with the disposal of junk and debris during the annual Spring Clean Up days which run from April 1 through 30.
Elizabethtown Public Works Director Don Hill says the guidelines for collection can be found on the city’s website.
“We ask that you place the items near the street, not in the street, and within 10 feet of the back of the curb or edge of pavement, that way our equipment can reach it,” Hill said. “Smaller, loose items, we ask that you bag them. Put them in clear plastic bags, limit the weight to 50 pounds, and you can purchase those at Public Works and at the Pritchard Community Center.”
The city says do not mix large items with small items when setting them out for collection, and place brush in a separate pile.
“What we will not pick up is garbage, hazardous materials, liquids, paints, oils, antifreeze, construction debris, tires, or automobiles,” Hill said.
Junk and debris collection will cycle through the designated zones as needed throughout the month. Appliances will be picked up on a call-in basis from April 22 through 30.
“We’ll pick up dehumidifiers, washing machines, dryers, ranges, water heaters,” Hill said. “They’ll be picked up and recycled. Anything that contains freon needs to be removed professionally and tagged so we know when we show up that the freon or refrigerant has been removed in a professional manner.”
