(Click here for Spring Clean Up Flyer)

 

The City of Buffalo will again be holding its Annual Spring Cleanup for city residents.  If you have acceptable items for disposal, you may bring them behind the Buffalo Civic Center at 1306 County Road 134 between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30, 2011.   We will not make arrangements to accept items on any other day and only during times shown above. 

 

The busiest time to come is generally right away in the morning and anytime Saturday morning.  To avoid very long lines and delays, stop by during the day on Friday.

 

Please make your own arrangements for hauling items to the clean up site.  Sort your loads ahead of time into groups for metal, demolition, appliances, electronics, tires, and other garbage.

 

A fee will be charged for each load you to dispose of and will vary depending on total volume and weight of your load with additional surcharges for some specific items as shown below.

 

No hazardous materials or pressurized tanks will be accepted.  This includes motor oil, paint, asbestos, etc.  If the item is liquid, we will not accept it.  Lawn mowers must have oil and fuel drained from them.  Do not attempt to bring in these items or your entire load will be rejected.
