Spring Cleanup 2010
April 24, May 1, and May 8
Materials Accepted for Recycling and Disposal

Don't miss your pick-up day! View the map to see when your area will be serviced.

Waste Items: All waste items must be placed at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the designated Saturday. Western Disposal will not return to a neighborhood for items not at the curb by 7 a.m. All Spring Cleanup items will be recycled, reused, or sent to a landfill.  Western Disposal will sort and recycle scrap metal, unpainted and untreated wood items, and electronic waste from the discards collected. All of the other items collected will be disposed of as garbage in the solid waste landfill.

Place items at the curb, taking care not to block sidewalks or driveways. Items stacked in driveways will not be picked up.  Oversize items need to be disassembled so they can be lifted by no more than two people. Items that are too big or too heavy for two persons to lift will not be removed for disposal.  All items must be marked for "Broomfield Cleanup."  Broken glass must be boxed and secured with tape. All other items should be stacked, bagged, boxed or bundled and placed parallel with the sidewalk on the curb.  Please remember to secure or remove doors on any item that may pose a safety hazard to small children.

Reusable Items: To reduce the amount of waste going to a landfill, two parallel collections will take place: one for waste items and one for reusable items. The Broomfield Rotary Clubs and ARC Thrift Store will provide FRONT PORCH pick-up of clothes and reusable items to benefit the ARC Thrift Store. Please leave your reusable used clothing, household goods, and useable furniture in a separate location near your front door or porch. Call ARC at 303.238.5263 before noon on the Thursday prior to your assigned Spring Cleanup day to assure your donation's pickup. Please leave your address with the answering service.  Clearly mark your donation "ARC." A tax- deductible donation receipt will be left at your front door.
