Spring pickup dates set for East Side

Jefferson City residents living east of Jefferson Street will have an opportunity for bulky items of trash to be collected this week.

The city's annual spring cleanup begins at 5 a.m. Monday for the east side of the city. The collection for residents living west of Jefferson Street was this past week.

Accepted items include furniture, mattresses, large bulky items, televisions, microwaves and tied bundles of scrap material under 4 feet in length. Items that will not be picked up include trash bags and/or boxes of debris, appliances, tires, yard waste, lumber or guttering more than 4 feet in length, rocks, bricks, concrete, waste oil, car parts, acid batteries and loose piles of any materials.

Regular household trash should be deposited in the blue carts for pickup on the usual collection day, as boxes and bags of trash will not be picked up as part of the bulky item collection.
