City of Sterling Announces Fall Cleanup

The City of Sterling announces the Fall Cleanup, scheduled to begin the week of October 15, 2012.  As a service to residential trash customers, the City will pick up any trash or rubbish, which is legally disposable at the Logan County Landfill.  Appliances containing Freon will not be accepted unless they have been certified "Freon Free" by an approved Freon reclamation center such as your local appliance dealer.

The City has divided residential neighborhoods into four areas, and City crews will only pick up items on the designated day(s) for each area.  All items should be available for pick-up no later than 7am on the first date of your area pick-up.

PLEASE DO NOT SET OUT ITEMS MORE THAN THREE (3) DAYS PRIOR TO PICK-UP DATES.  THE CITY WILL NOT COME BACK TO PICK UP ITEMS SET OUT AFTER DESIGNATED ROUTE IS COMPLETED.

The schedule is tentatively set as follows:
     Monday, October 15 & Tuesday, October 16 - residences north of Broadway and east of Division Avenue
     Wednesday, October 17 & Thursday, October 18 - residences north of Phelps Street and west of Division Avenue
     Friday, October 19 - residences south of Broadway and east of Division Avenue
     Monday, October 22 & Tuesday, October 23 - residences south of Phelps Street and west of Division Avenue

Every attempt will be made to follow this schedule, but the weather and number of residents participating may require a schedule adjustment.

The cleanup program is designed to assist homeowners in discarding oversized items from City of Sterling Resident households only.  Business debris, large quantities of construction debris, or debris items originating from other sources will not be picked up.

To participate in the cleanup, residents must place the material to be disposed of in the alley adjacent to their property.  If there is no alley, materials should be placed near the curb.

IMPORTANT CHANGE:
The Logan County Landfill requires debris materials to be separated before being brought to the landfill.  Tires, metal, or wood must be placed in separate piles prior to the City Crew loading the materials.

Any loose material must be bagged, boxed, or tied into bundles.  Material should not be placed in the street or on the sidewalk where it will interfere with pedestrian or vehicle traffic.

Examples of items accepted by City crews include mattresses, lumber, furniture, bed frames, cabinets, washers, dryers, ranges, dishwashers, microwaves, and water heaters.
