The City of Pella has announced its annual Spring Clean-Up Week, scheduled for March 30 through April 3. During this time, residential customers can conveniently dispose of bulky items that don't fit in their regular garbage totes, with pickup occurring on their normal trash and recycling collection days.

Why it matters

Spring Clean-Up Week provides an opportunity for Pella residents to declutter and properly dispose of large household items, helping to maintain the community's cleanliness and aesthetics. However, certain items like appliances and electronics are not accepted, so residents need to be aware of the program's guidelines.

The details

Participation in the clean-up week is limited to those who have been issued a City of Pella authorized garbage bin. All acceptable bulky waste items should be placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the normal collection day, as anything set out after that time or on a different day will not be picked up. Residents can contact the Public Works Department or Midwest Sanitation for more information on the program.
