It's tradition, every year we purge. Out with the old, in with the new. To make this process easier for Bismarck residents, the city sets up a Spring Clean-Up Week for special waste collection and free dumping at the landfill for residents.

This year, Spring Clean-Up Week is April 20-23rd (curbside). The City landfill will be open Monday, April 20, through Saturday, April 25.

According to the city's website, residents can place bulky items on the boulevard curb by 5 a.m. on their regularly scheduled garbage days, but not more than 24 hours in advance of collection.

Only items placed in front of resident houses on the boulevard will be picked up by crews. 

 The city's website also states that you should keep your household garbage separate from spring clean-up items. If you're throwing away items like garbage cans, crates, or boxes, they suggest you mark them so crews know you want them collected. 

When it comes to furniture and appliances, crews will pick up items on the boulevard that two people can lift. You will need to make sure appliances do not have food or debris in them.
