The City of Galesburg will hold clean-up days the weeks of September 14 – 18, 2020, and September 21 – 25, 2020. The fall clean-up will be held over a two week period in order to accommodate the anticipated larger than typical amounts of waste, due to the spring clean-up being canceled. The clean-up week assigned to each household will be the same as their recycling pick-up week. During clean-up days, residential refuse customers are encouraged to clean out attics, garages, basements, and backyards to get rid of any large unwanted items. Place these items on the curb during the assigned week on the regular pick-up day by 6 a.m. and free pick-up will be provided by Waste Management of Illinois, Inc. All loose items are required to be bagged or bundled. Cumbersome items, such as playsets or antenna towers, should be broken down or disassembled; and doors should be removed from large appliances for safety. There ARE several restrictions for fall clean-up. Visit the City of Galesburg website for the brochure listing restricted items.
