Spring Clean Up ‘09 Comes to Alexandria
March 31st, 2009 Categories: Alexandria, Green Living
Wondering what to do with all that “stuff” that accumulated over the winter? Eager to clean and purge but not up for a yard sale? Then the City of Alexandria is ready to help you with Spring Clean Up ‘09. An added bonus this year is metal and electronics recycling.
Starting Saturday, April 4 and continuing through Saturday, May 2nd, the City of Alexandria will provide pick up service to all city residents.
The rules:
- Place materials at the CURB (no alley pick-up) before 7:00am on the assigned pick-up day.
- Stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, hot water heaters, freezers, and dish washers require a $20 per item collection fee.
- Tie brush in bundles no more than 4 feet long and not more than 75lbs.
Items must be placed in 4 distinct piles:
- Reusable items – tables, chairs, household furniture or any other reusable item
- Metal items – pots, pans, toasters, wire hangers
- Electronics – stereos, computers, televisions
- Refuse
UNACCEPTABLE ITEMS:
- Concrete
- Hazardous waste
- Unbundled brush
- Loose yard waste
- Building materials

The web site FileStoreShred.com maintains a list of free paper shredding and electronics recycling events at locations from coast to coast. Similar to what is mentioned above, these events are faster and easier than shredding your stuff at home.
