You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

City cost & eligibility
The City does not publish a collection fee for Spring Cleanup. Call Public Works at 270-737-7890 if you need to confirm whether a charge applies to your property.
When & how
Spring Cleanup junk and debris ran March 30 through May 1 in 2026, with crews starting in Area One and returning to each area as often as they could during April.
Get it ready
Place bulky items in an open area within ten feet of the edge of the street, clear of traffic and away from overhead power lines, and keep large items separate from smaller or bagged items.
For Spring Cleanup, place items near the street without interfering with traffic, keep bulky items in an open area within ten feet of the edge of the street, and avoid placing anything under overhead power lines. Do not mix brush with the cleanup pile.
During the fall leaf program, place loose and bagged leaves as close to the street as possible while avoiding drainage facilities and traffic lanes, use clear plastic bags under 50 pounds, and separate brush and other debris from the loose leaf piles.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Garbage, hazardous materials, liquids such as paints, oil and antifreeze, construction debris, tires and automobiles are not collected, brush is not part of the cleanup pile, and appliances containing refrigerant need a tag showing it was removed.
Elizabethtown residents with brush or cut trees too large for the curbside rotation can deliver them to the Public Works Facility at 1600 Nicholas Street, where the City accepts material over twelve inches in diameter or five feet in length that was generated inside the city limits. Contractors working inside the city are required to remove oversized debris themselves or deliver it to the same location. For anything the cleanup and yard programs do not cover, including construction debris, tires, electronics and scrap metal, the City publishes no facility, so call Public Works at 270-737-7890 before hauling.
