The Town of Farmville will hold its Spring Cleanup on Monday, April 16.

“Town residents are advised to have all items at the curbside by 7:30 a.m. on April 16,” according to a press release. “This cleanup provides pickup of items not normally picked up, such as; furniture, appliances, carpet, bedding and building materials. Any loose items must be boxed or bagged to be collected. Items must be in a container that is to be thrown away.”

As an example, the town says, “if you put small tree limbs in an old garbage can, the can will be thrown away with the limbs. If you set it out, it will be thrown away. Containers must be strong enough to handle the weight of its contents. Rocks, cement block, brick and loose dirt will not be picked up.”

“Separate brush from other items such as bags, metal, furniture, etc. Recyclables should also be separate from all other debris. Motor oil needs to be in a capped, labeled container marked ‘Motor Oil.’ Vehicle batteries will not be collected by the town. No hazardous materials will be picked up.”

According to the release “the town will also be recycling electronic items. Please separate these recyclable items from all other items. All town residents and businesses that have items are encouraged to call in for this pick up by 4 p.m. Friday, April 13.”

The following is a list of recyclable electronic items: computers (CPUs, monitors, keyboards, cables, mice), cell phones and telephones, laptops, TVs, VCRs and DVDs, video game consoles, printers and scanners, camcorders, stereos and speakers, microwaves and other small electronics.

“All items collected during this campaign become the property of the Town of Farmville, who is therefore responsible for its proper disposal.”
