Spring cleaning in full gear
- Annual city-wide cleanup day scheduled for next weekend -

Spring is in the air and so is spring cleaning. Residents are invited to get a jump start on their spring cleaning by taking part in the City-wide Cleanup Day on April 4.

This annual free event provides residents with the opportunity to get rid of unwanted bulky items for free. From 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. City crews and trucks will be stationed at various locations across the city to collect items. For a complete list of locations, refer to the list below.

To take part in this day, individuals must be a City of San Antonio residential solid waste rate payer. Participants must bring a copy of their most recent CPS Energy bill along with a picture ID as proof of residency to obtain “free” disposal. Residents are asked to cover loads with a tarp to avoid being charged a penalty under the City Ordinance #72272 Tarp-Law.

Residents are also encouraged to separate their brush from their bulky items and recycle. Clean brush can be recycled into high quality mulch available at the Bitters Brush Collection Site, 1800 Bitters Rd.

For more information, call 3-1-1 or visit www.sanantonio.gov/swmd.
