Every year, households go through old belongings and tend to take part in some kind of “spring cleanup,” whether that means recycling that stack of old magazines, or going through the garage and sorting junk, or scrubbing the whole house from top to bottom. Because of this spring cleaning, townships in Mason County offer a Spring Cleanup day, so you and your family can get rid of all the junk you find while you sort and clean the house!
2017 was the last year for Ludington Spring Cleanup Days, because the City has transitioned to a monthly arrangement for pickups of larger amounts. Currently, Republic Services will pick up bulky items once per month from the curb in front of resident’s homes.
On a city resident’s first collection day of each month, the following items may be placed curbside for pickup with no additional charge:
Bulky items may not include boats, bricks, batteries, concrete, engines and satellite dishes.
Stickers may still be purchased by residents who must dispose of bulky items in excess of these limits for $5 per bulky item. In addition, residents who must dispose bags of trash in excess of these limits can still purchase stickers for $2 per additional bag of trash.
Owners of commercial properties may purchase up to five stickers per week at a cost of $15 per sticker for the removal of bulky items.
Scottville Residents may place one bulky item to the curb on the 1st Tuesday of each month.
Examples of items would be: mattress, table, chair, couch, vacuum, microwave, tv, etc. They cannot use a black or other color garbage bag as their 1 item.
Residents may also purchase a tag at City Hall for $15 for disposal of additional items or on other Tuesday trash days during the month. For more information: cityofscottville.org.
