Annual Residential Curbside Cleanup

Citywide Curbside Cleanup Program

The Citywide Curbside Cleanup program assists residents in removing excess trash, rubbish, and bulky items not collected during normal weekly service.

Eligibility:

This event is available to single-family homes located within the city limits of Madera. It does not include unincorporated areas of Madera County, multi-family dwellings, or commercial businesses.

Guidelines:

• Debris Placement: Residents may begin placing debris in front of their residence up to 3 days before their scheduled cleanup date.
• Size Limitations: Piles should not exceed 5' x 5' x 10' (roughly the size of one truckload).
• Placement: Items should be placed at least 6 inches away from the curb to avoid blocking sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes, and fire hydrants.
• Sorting: Separate debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste, and general trash.
• Outdoor Basketball Hoops: Relocate any outdoor basketball hoops left curbside until your cleanup program concludes.
• Bagging or Boxing: All loose debris must be bagged or boxed.
