This year’s Spring Cleanup in the Town of Christiansburg is still on schedule and will be held April 11-24.
Each year, Christiansburg Public Works offers Spring and Fall Cleanup – free special collection events when residents may place out larger items for pickup.
Public Works crews follow the normal solid waste pickup schedule when collecting Spring Cleanup items but may run a few days behind due to staffing constraints with COVID-19. If it is nearing the end of the cleanup cycle and your items have not been collected, please call 540-382-1151.
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 do not block drainage ditches, gutters, sidewalks, water meters or sewer cleanouts. The Town is not responsible for any items left at or near the street that residents did not intend to have collected. Piles that do not comply with cleanup rules will not be collected.
Please separate materials by type (i.e. pile bagged leaves, tree limbs and trimmings separately). Loose materials must be placed in bags/containers not exceeding 32 gallons.
