It’s time to clean out your house, basement, garages…and wherever else you have junk or unwanted items lying around. Plan now to take advantage of the Eagle Grove Citywide Clean- Up Days scheduled for Wednesday, June 23 through Saturday, June 26. While most items are free to dispose of, there is a fee for some things. Here are some guidelines you need to keep in mind.
Please remember, there is no longer curbside pickup. All items must be brought to the dump site behind City Hall located at 209 SE 1st St. between the hours of 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday. The elderly and handicapped who have no other means of getting their items to the dump site may call City Hall at 448-4343 to make other arrangements.
