SPRING CITY WIDE CLEAN UP 5/4/2026-5/8/2026
City Wide Clean Ups are a *free* service to assist residents with removal of items that cannot be picked up with their regular weekly trash collection and/or are too difficult to haul away on their own. You must have a current City of Galena Utility Account to participate.
1). All items must be placed at the street side curb. The crew will not enter yards or alleys to pick up your items.
2). NO HOUSEHOLD/KITCHEN TRASH – if it can be taken with your usual weekly trash collection, that is how it needs to be disposed of.
3). ABSOLUTELY NO PILES OF CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS, SHINGLES, PAINT, CHEMICALS, LIQUIDS, CINDER BLOCKS, TIRES, ROCKS OR BOULDERS. We will not accept *whole house* cleanouts or remodel debris.
4). Any items that are left behind must be removed by the property owner.
5.) Items will only be picked up on your original trash day. 5/4/2026 to 5/8/2026
🌿 SUMMER REMINDER: HIGH WEEDS ORDINANCE 🌿
As we move into the summer months, property owners are reminded to keep lawns and lots properly maintained to help protect public health, safety, and neighborhood appearance.
DEFINITION OF WEEDS:
For enforcement purposes, “weeds” are defined as any of the following:
(a) Brush and woody vines shall be classified as weeds;
(b) Weeds and grasses which may attain such large growth as to become, when dry, a fire menace to adjacent improved property;
(c) Weeds which bear or may bear seeds of a downy or wingy nature;
(d) Weeds which are located in an area which harbors rats, insects, animals, reptiles, or any other creature which either may or does constitute a menace to health, public safety, or welfare;
(e) Weeds and grasses on or about residential property which, because of their height, have a blighting influence on the neighborhood. Any such weeds and indigenous grasses shall be presumed to be blighting if they exceed 12 inches in height.
Please ensure your property remains in compliance by regularly mowing and maintaining vegetation throughout the season.
Failure to comply may result in notices, abatement, and associated costs being assessed to the property owner.
Thank you for helping keep our community safe, clean, and attractive!
