The village of Plainfield and Waste Management will be holding a spring cleanup for residents during the week of April 6.

Residents can place household refuse, bulk items (i.e., chairs, couches, and mattresses), and white goods (i.e., refrigerators, washers, dryers, and water heaters) at the curb on their regular pickup day.

Residents need to have all materials at the curb by 6 a.m. on your collection day. All items placed at the curb for collection must be normal residential refuse and packaged properly, the village said.

Mattresses must be wrapped in plastic and king size mattresses must be folded in half and tied or secured with a bungee cord, the village said.

Carpet must be cut and rolled into 4-foot lengths, weighing no more than 50 pounds. Carpet and padding must be secured with tape or string, the village said.
