Spring cleaning is in the air
Annual city-wide cleanup day scheduled for April 2

Spring has arrived and so has the time for the annual city-wide cleanup day. Residents are invited to get a jump start on their spring cleaning by taking part in the event on Saturday, April 2.

This annual free event is one in a series of events that the Solid Waste Management Department sponsors within the year that provides residents with the opportunity to get rid of unwanted bulky items. From 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. City crews and trucks will be stationed at 13 locations across the city to collect items (a complete list of locations located below).

To take part in this day, you 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 the clean brush at the Bitter Brush Collection Site,1800 Bitters Rd. The site will also be accepting residential brush and yard trimmings for free on that day as well as providing free mulch as long as supplies last. Mulch and paper kraft bags will also be available for free on a first come, first served basis at the Southside Citizen Drop-off Center, 5450 Castroville Road.
