CARBONDALE – Carbondale’s annual Residential Spring Clean-Up Program begins Friday. This program allows residents of single family dwellings up to and including 4-unit buildings to dispose of household items and general rubbish generated from the dwelling being served.
To participate in this program, place your household rubbish at the curbside no earlier than five days prior to your collection day and no later than 7 a.m. on your collection day. Please note that items set at the curbside for collection after 7 a.m. on the listed collection day may not be collected as collection operations begin promptly at 7 a.m. each day. Household items will be collected from the curbside on Fridays, based on the following schedule:
-
Monday’s City Refuse Collection Route – Friday, May 3
-
Tuesday’s City Refuse Collection Route – Friday, May 10
-
Wednesday’s City Refuse Collection Route – Friday, May 17

The following items will not be collected as a part of this program:
