Spring Clean-Up Curbside Pick-Up Back Again This Year in St. Charles

Submission by the city of St. Charles

Offered every two years, Spring Clean Up allows residents to place unwanted items at the curb for pick up. Collection dates are May 14 for East Side and May 21 for West Side. This is a service for residents within St. Charles city limits only.

Advanced Disposal will pick up items which must be placed on the curb (not in the street) before 7 a.m. to ensure pickup. Once collection crews have passed through an area they will not come back. Also, please do not place items out more than 48 hours before the collection.

If you would like to keep containers used to hold items, mark them “Do not throw can away.” They cannot be retrieved once collected.

• Electronics
• Large home appliances
