Fall Cleanup Days are October 17 and 24

Arlington residents will notice a change in the citywide semi-annual Cleanup Day program. For many years, the Spring and Fall Cleanup Days were one day events with multiple drop-off locations. This year, Fall Cleanup is two consecutive Saturdays in October at the Arlington Landfill. The Arlington Landfill is located at 800 Mosier Valley Road in north Arlington.

From 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 17 and 24, Arlington residents can make unlimited trips to the Arlington Landfill for free disposal of bulky waste items. Items such as brush, tires, furniture, carpet and lumber will be accepted from Arlington residents free of charge.
This event is for Arlington residents only. No contractors will be allowed to dump for free. Proof of Arlington residency will be required. Loads must be securely tied down or covered.

A detailed flyer about the program and a listing of frequently asked questions can be found on the City of Arlington website at www.arlingtontx.gov/environment.
