Spring Clean-Up Week is a means for Pella residential customers to conveniently dispose of bulky items that do not fit inside of a garbage tote. Participation in clean-up week is limited to those who have been issued a City of Pella authorized bin (dark blue with windmills stamped on the sides) from March 31st through April 4th.

Although most household bulky waste items may be set out for collection, there are certain items that will not be picked up during clean-up week, including, but not limited to appliances and electronics.

Pick up of bulky waste items will take place on the normal garbage/recycling collection day only. All acceptable items should be placed at curbside no later than 7:00 a.m. Items not on the curbside that time or placed out after the normal collection day will not be picked up.

Contact the Public Works Department at 628-1601 or Midwest Sanitation at 628-2610 for more information.

Residents of Marion County can properly dispose of household hazardous waste, free of charge, in Pella next weekend. A collection event will be held on Saturday, April 5 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Accepted items should be dropped off at the Public Works Complex (100 Truman Road) during that time.
