Watertown's Annual Clean-Up Week: What Residents Need to Know

The City of Watertown has scheduled its Annual City Wide Clean-Up Week from Monday, April 22 to Thursday, April 25, 2024. Residents are encouraged to place items on their boulevards from April 20 to 21 for collection. Timely placement is crucial as the city will not revisit areas for collection.

City regulations prohibit setting out items before April 20. Collection items should be sorted into metal and non-metal categories. Metal items include washers, dryers, stoves, bikes, lawn mowers, and air conditioners. The city advises residents to leave Freon in these items for removal at the Watertown Regional Landfill.

Non-metal items include rolled carpet, furniture, hot tubs, mattresses, and large electronics. All metal items will be recycled. Items not suitable for boulevard placement, such as cardboard and construction rubble, can be disposed of at the Watertown Landfill's Free Self-Haul Event from April 22 to May 3.

A list of prohibited items is available on the city's website. The Park, Rec, and Forestry Department and Street Maintenance, Airport, and Solid Waste divisions of the Public Works Department have contributed to the event's organization.

The citywide clean-up is a community effort to maintain Watertown's cleanliness. All residents are encouraged to participate.
