Spring Cleanup Week Starts April 7 in Plainfield

To help residents with their spring cleaning, the Village of Plainfield and Waste Management will be sponsoring Spring Cleanup for Village residents during the week of April 7. 

Residents can place household refuse, bulk items (i.e. chairs, mattresses, and couches) and white goods (refrigerators, washers, dryers,and water heaters, etc.) at the curb on their regular pickup day. Residents should have all materials at the curb by 6 a.m. on your collection day.  

The following materials are excluded from Spring Cleanup: electronics, 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, contact Waste Management at 1-800-796-9696.  

The village and Waste Management are also reminding 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. Note: sod, trees, stumps, dirt, stones, and landscape brick/pavers are not accepted as yard waste.
