City Landfill Clean Sweep
The intent of the “Clean Sweep” program is to
assist St. Joseph residents in maintaining their property. This program is
not a substitute for regular solid waste collection which is required by
City Code Sections: 24-2, 24-4, 24-8, 24-9 & 24-18.
All yard waste, trash, and appliances will be accepted from St. Joseph
residents for two (2) full days a year free of charge. There is a limit of
six tires per day (tires have to be off the rim). Yard waste must be
separated from trash. None of the following will be accepted: Toxic or
hazardous waste, oil, liquid paint, batteries, or tires on rims.
The “Clean Sweep” program will be the first seven days (1st through the 7th
) of April and October during normal hours.
