City of Alexandria Spring Cleanup Begins Saturday

The City’s annual Spring Clean-Up program starts Saturday, April 18. Residents who receive City refuse collection services are encouraged to participate in the City’s Spring Clean-Up program, which takes place on four consecutive Saturdays throughout April and May.

Residents can place unwanted household clutter, bulky trash and metal items at the curb on their neighborhood collection date. Metals and electronics should be clearly separated from other collection items, as they will be picked up during a separate collection on Saturday.
The City is divided into four collection areas and each area is assigned a specific Saturday.

• Area 1 – Saturday, April 18
• Area 2 – Saturday, April 25
• Area 3 – Saturday, May 2
• Area 4 – Saturday, May 9
