Items must not be placed out for collection sooner than Saturday, May 5, but must be placed curbside prior to 6:00 a.m., May 12. Items placed to the curb after the contractor has passed through will not be picked up.<br \/>\nThe annual City spring cleanup offers the opportunity to dispose of large, bulky items such as furniture, appliances, water heaters, mattresses, etc. Odd pieces of lumber will be taken if the pieces are not over four (4) feet in length and neatly stacked and bundled. Carpeting must be bundled in lengths of less than (4) feet.<br \/>\nAppliances must be empty. Refrigerators and freezers containing any food will not be picked up. Also, you must remove the doors from any refrigerator or freezer unit.<br \/>\nPlease bag, box or bundle your items when possible. Limit bag, box or bundle to 50 pounds in weight. The bagging, boxing or bundling of items will provide quick, more efficient service. The weight limitation of 50 pounds helps the safety factor for the contractor.<br \/>\nItems excluded from the spring cleanup include: household refuse or yard waste; automobile components; batteries; concrete; stumps; bricks, blocks or stones; dirt piles; building materials from major household repairs, alterations or new construction; demolition materials; drums; liquids and hazardous waste.<br \/>\nLatex paints will not be collected during the spring cleanup or as part of the home hazardous waste collection. Latex paints can be dried out (kitty litter or sawdust works well) and placed in the weekly household green bag collection. It helps to set the paint mixed with drying agent out in the sun to speed up the drying process. Make sure paint is dry before placing in the green bag for collection.<br \/>\nThe annual City spring cleanup is available to City residents who live in one to four unit dwellings. Property owners of these units pay a refuse fee on their summer taxes, which funds the annual cleanup effort.<br \/>\nApartment buildings over four units, commercial\/industrial properties and the trailer park <strong><em>are not <\/em><\/strong>eligible for the City&#8217;s spring cleanup. City tax dollars should not be used for non-resident trash removal.<br \/>\nCity police will be monitoring for non-city resident trash dumping. All violators will be prosecuted. Please assist the City in saving your tax dollars by not allowing others to unlawfully deposit trash on your property. Call 224-6721 to report violators.<br \/>\nArea garage sales are encouraged to reduce the amount of reusable items needlessly going to the landfill. With landfill space at a premium, be ecologically correct and recycle\/reuse items. Items that do not sell at a garage sale could be placed out for the annual cleanup.<br \/>\nSpring cleanup brings out the treasure hunters. Attention Pickers! Please do not leave a mess after sorting through the piles. Be courteous and keep areas tidy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday May 12, 2012<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-city","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28324\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
