ANNUAL SPRING CLEANUP RESCHEDULED

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual residential spring clean-up has been re-scheduled for Monday, October 5, through Friday, October 9.  Residents may begin putting items out on Wednesday, September 30.  Only those residents currently paying a monthly sanitation charge on their utility bill are eligible to participate.  Businesses and apartment complexes on the commercial dumpster rate are not eligible to participate in the program.  

Large item tags for clean-up can be purchased from Monday, September 28, through Friday, October 2, at a cost of $11 per tag.  Tags are non-refundable but may be used for future annual spring clean-ups.

If your item is not picked up, it is because your items did not meet the guidelines or was put out after City crews had completed pick up in your area.  Crews will make one, and only one, pass through the City.  You will be responsible for the immediate removal of any items not picked up and may be subject to an administrative fine which may include a disposal fee if you do not remove the items.

Tags may be purchased at Schaap Sanitation, City Hall and Worthington Public Utilities.

For more information, please contact Community Services at 507-372-8650, Schaap Sanitation at 507-376-9218 or visit the City of Worthington Facebook page.
