New Smyrna Beach, FL - New Smyrna Beach residents are getting a little help with their fall clean up. Residential Curbside Clean-up Week begins Monday and runs until Friday.
“This is an opportunity for residents to pick up and clean up, and we’ll take away the trash,” said Faith Miller New Smyrna Beach maintenance operations manager. “In the process, we’ll be promoting community pride and a clean environment.”
Acceptable items must be placed neatly at the property’s curb before 7am but not more than two days in advance of the normal garbage pick-up day. Items also must be separated by type – household garbage and construction debris. Examples of acceptable items include appliances, cabinets, car rims, car tires, couches, fencing, furniture, mattresses, rugs and sinks. Small loose items must be in garbage containers and may not weigh more than 50 pounds.
“By participating, residents may save themselves a trip to the landfill and the fees associated with disposing of these types of items,” Miller said. “If they place it neatly at the curb, we’ll pick it up at no additional charge. It’s also good timing to clean up before the holidays.”
Doors on cabinets and appliances must be removed before curb placement. Household hazardous waste will not be picked up curbside but will be accepted from 9am to 3pm on Saturday (October 31st) at the New Smyrna Beach Public Works Department (124 Industrial Park Avenue). The remainder of the year, all household hazardous waste must be delivered to the Volusia County Landfill.
Household garbage, recycling, and yard waste will be collected as regularly scheduled.
Residential Curbside Clean-up Week is sponsored by the City of New Smyrna Beach and Waste Pro, its solid waste contractor.
