Summary
A city staff member said Greeley’s two-day spring cleanup in May will run 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; fees apply ($25 per car/pickup, $35 per trailer), Freon appliances are limited to one per household, and tires must be dropped off without rims. Some items must go to other drop-off sites.
A city staff member announced that Greeley City will hold its annual spring cleanup in May, a two-day event running from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the site west of 14th Avenue and A Street, rain or shine.
"Greeley's annual spring cleanup is coming this May," the staff member said, and added that the event is for Greeley residents only; attendees should bring ID to verify residency.
The staff member said fees this year are $25 per carload or pickup and $35 for trailers, and that organizers will accept cash, check and credit card. "The program is accepting appliances, furniture, mattresses, scrap metal, and tires with a few new limits," the staff member said.
Among the changes, "appliances with Freon, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, are now limited to 1 per household," the staff member said. The announcement also requires that tires be dropped off with their rims removed.
The staff member listed items not accepted at the main site: household trash, bagged items (vehicles with bagged items will be turned away), hazardous materials, electronics, green waste, construction debris, and anything in an enclosed trailer. Organizers said these categories have separate drop-off locations.
For household hazardous waste such as paint, batteries, motor oil and pesticides, the staff member directed residents to North Weld County at 1311 North 17th Avenue, about two blocks from the main site; that facility will be open Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to support the spring cleanup. The staff member cautioned that fees may apply for some materials.
Electronics will not be accepted at the main cleanup this year; the staff member said Weld County periodically hosts e-waste collection events and residents should check Weld County Environmental Health Services or Colorado Electronics and Computer Waste for current schedules and locations.
Green waste such as yard debris, limbs and grass should be taken to the Organic Waste Center at 1150 North 25th Avenue rather than the main site.
For the full list of accepted items and recent changes, the staff member directed residents to the Greeley website; the spoken URL in the transcript was "greleyco.gov." The staff member closed by reiterating, "Spring cleanup, May. We'll see you there."
