WMOK – Metropolis, IL – As spring blossoms in Metropolis, the city is excited to announce its much-anticipated Spring Clean Up Week, scheduled from May 12th to May 16th. This annual event encourages residents to participate in a collective effort to keep our community clean and beautiful.
During Clean Up Week, residents are invited to declutter their homes and neighborhoods by placing unwanted items curbside for disposal. However, it’s important to note that this service will be available for this week only. To ensure a smooth collection process, all items must be placed at your regular pick-up point and positioned within five feet of the trash container.
City officials emphasize that cleanliness is key, and therefore, all items placed for collection must be either bagged or contained. Additionally, any loose items need to be bundled for easy handling by workers. To facilitate timely collection, residents should have their trash ready for pick-up on their designated day, with all items out by 6 a.m.
While this is a fantastic opportunity to dispose of unwanted items, residents should be aware of some restrictions. The following items will not be accepted: tires, batteries, hazardous or medical waste, car parts, satellites, yard waste, construction and demolition debris, flammable liquids, paint (unless it’s empty or dry), electronics, and appliances. This ensures that we maintain a safe and environmentally-friendly disposal process.
