Idaho Falls Clean and Green Citywide Cleanup begins May 4

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - The City of Idaho Falls will help residents with spring cleanup efforts during the annual Clean and Green Citywide Cleanup beginning May 4.  

Personnel from the Sanitation Division will be available every weekend in May at different locations in Idaho Falls to help collect and dispose of unwanted items, including household solid waste, brush, leaves, construction waste and bulk items. 

“This service provides residents with the option to bring most of their unwanted items to one location where those items will then be sorted and disposed of accordingly by our staff,” Idaho Falls Sanitation Superintendent Jordan Rechenmacher said. 

Certain types of waste, such as demolition material, metal, hazardous waste, tires or large appliances are required to be disposed of differently and cannot be accepted by Idaho Falls Sanitation; however, there are other places that do take these items.
