Clean Up Week

One of Moorhead’s favorite times of the year is Clean Up Week. During the first full 2 weeks of May (Oakport neighborhood is a separate day), furniture, household goods, and appliances will be collected at single-family residence curbs on scheduled garbage days beginning at 5 am at no additional cost.

Your Clean Up Week will be your garbage day, OPPOSITE your recycling week.

• If you are on A Week Recycling (red), your Clean Up Day will be on your garbage day the 2nd full week of May.
• If you are on B Week Recycling (blue), your Clean Up Day will be on your garbage day the 1st full week of May.
• Exception: Oakport will be later in May, same as recycling day.

Apartments are not eligible for curbside pickup. Residents may bring excess garbage to the Resource Recovery Center.

Clean Up Week requires a huge amount of effort, coordination, and cooperation. Please follow these guidelines:

• Tires will NOT be collected at the curb. Homeowners will need to dispose of them at retail tire stores or the Resource Recovery Center for a fee.
• Sort appliances, furniture, household garbage, metal, etc. into piles; different trucks collect specific items.
• Garbage should be compartmentalized and placed in disposable containers such as cardboard boxes (Excessive loose garbage will not be picked up).
• Do not set items out more than one day earlier than your scheduled day for Clean Up Week.
• During Clean Up Week, crews will not return to pick up garbage set out after your garbage day.
• Two appliances per household will be picked up free of charge. Remove refrigerator and freezer doors for children's safety.
• Do not place food or waste inside appliances.
• No commercial waste will be accepted.
• Keep garbage totes at least 6 feet away from Clean Up Week items.
• Empty propane tanks will also be collected (valves need to be removed or a hole needs to be drilled into the tank).
