Plainfield Spring Cleanup Scheduled for Week of April 8th

Article submitted by the Village of Plainfield:

To help residents with their spring cleaning, the Village of Plainfield and Waste Management will sponsor Spring Cleanup for Village residents during the week of April 8.  

Residents can place household refuse, bulk items (i.e. chairs, mattresses, and couches) and white goods (i.e. refrigerators, washers, dryers, and water heaters) at the curb on their regular pickup day. Large electronic wastes such as televisions, computers, printers, and monitors will also be accepted during Spring Cleanup Week only. Please have all materials at the curb by 6 a.m. on your collection day. 

The following materials are excluded from Spring Cleanup: hazardous waste (paints, oils, and solvents), tires, construction and demolition materials, concrete, rock, dirt, engines or large automotive parts, and any oversized items that cannot be placed in a compactor type truck. 

All items placed at the curb for collection must be normal residential refuse and must be packaged properly. For information on proper packaging, please visit the Village web site at www.plainfield-il.org and choose Resident Information, Waste & Recycling.  For additional information on Spring Cleanup, please contact Waste Management at 1-800-796-9696. 

The Village and Waste Management would also like to remind residents that yard waste collection resumes with your first refuse pickup in April. Please make sure that all yard waste is properly packaged in kraft yard waste bags and/or a Waste Management yard waste cart. Please note:  sod, trees, stumps, dirt, stones, and landscape brick/pavers are not accepted as yard waste.
