Calendar

This year's Spring Cleanup will be held April 13-26! To make it easier on our collection crews, please place cleanup items within 10 feet of the street pavement and separate them from your regular trash. Please also separate materials by type (i.e. Pile bagged leaves, tree limbs and trimmings in separate piles). Please do not block drainage ditches, gutters, sidewalks, water meters or sewer cleanouts. Though special collection trucks follow regular garbage routes, cleanup may run a day or two behind trash collection schedules, depending on volume. If it is nearing the end of the clean-up cycle and your materials have not been collected, please call (540) 382-1151. Please visit www.christiansburg.org/cleanupFAQ for more information on the types of items that will be collected during Cleanup.
