Annual Alley Cleanup and E-Waste

Annual Alley Cleanup

The annual alley cleanup is an opportunity to discard items that would not be picked up in the normal trash collection.

The annual alley cleanup consists of one sweep through the City. No set schedule is established; however, curbside services will be first with regular alley services following. The number of employees committed to the task may vary from day to day; therefore, crews are unable to predict when they will be by a residence. 

As in years past, the City does NOT pick up tires and hazardous waste. Tires should be disposed of at the Ellis County Landfill, and hazardous waste items should be disposed of at the Ellis County Hazardous Waste Facility. Please call 628-9460 or 628-9449 for detailed information.

Waste should be placed in five separate piles in preparation of the alley cleanup. The piles should be organized in the following manner:

1.Tree limbs and brush (no longer than 12 ft. in length or 6" in diameter)

2.Construction and Demolition Debris, i.e., lumber, drywall, bricks, sinks, wires, etc. (please pull or bend over nails and place small quantities of concrete, bricks, and plaster in containers)

3.White Goods/Metals, i.e., guttering, siding, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, metal swing sets, etc.

4.E-Waste, i.e., computers, typewriters, calculators, cell phones, TV's, microwaves, etc.

5.Municipal Waste (all other items), i.e., furniture, carpet, etc.

TO AVOID WRONGFUL PICK UP, "TREASURED ITEMS" SHOULD BE TAGGED OR REMOVED FROM THE COLLECTION AREA

E-Waste

E-waste is electronic waste. Computers, typewriters, cell phones, printers, TV's, etc.

E-waste can be placed approximately 2-3 feet away from your regular trash or taken to the Recycling Facility, 1780 W. 55th Street, between the hours of 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
