Cleanup Day on May 10, 2022

06 May 2022

Spring Clean-up Day is a means for Sully residential customers to conveniently dispose of bulky items that do not fit inside a garbage tote. Participation is limited to those who have been issued a Midwest Sanitation garbage tote.

Although most household, bulky waste items may be set out for collection, there are certain items that will not be picked up on clean-up day (including but not limited to appliances and electronics). Please see the chart below for some of the unacceptable items. We also suggest donating any usable items to a charitable organization of your choice.

Pick up of bulky waste items will take place on the normal garbage collection day only. All acceptable items should be placed at curbside no later than 6 am on the scheduled collection day. Items not on the curbside by 6 am or placed out after the normal collection day will not be picked up. Please remember to keep all items at least 4' from the garbage tote.

If you have any questions regarding clean-up day, please contact Midwest Sanitation at 641-628-2610.
