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
