Fall clean-up is slated for this week, Oct. 21-24, in Jefferson.
Pick up will be done in each neighborhood on the regular garbage day. Materials must be separated: metal with metal, wood with wood, garbage with garbage, yard waste, etc.
If items are not sorted, they will not be picked up. Scrap metal should be cut into lengths not longer than 5 feet to be picked up at no charge. As always, brush should be stacked in arm load piles with the butt ends facing the street.
Tires or toxic waste will not be taken.
The first two loads (hoppers) of trash picked up at a property will be free, and no stickers are needed on yard waste bags during clean-up.
Amounts of trash beyond two hoppers will cost $25 per hopper and will be billed to the occupant of the property. Scrap metal and yard waste are separate items and are not counted towards the limits. There will continue to be charges for pickup up appliances and E-waste items.

In discussing the city’s new automated trash collection, the city council has mentioned the city-wide clean-up weeks may be discontinued in the future.
