Residents of Alexandria’s Del Ray neighborhood have March 22 and March 29 to do their spring cleaning. Spring Clean Up for Del Ray residents living east of Mt. Vernon is Saturday, March 22. For residents west of Mt. Vernon and north of Braddock, Spring Clean Up is Saturday, March 29.
Spring Clean Up is sponsored by the City of Alexandria and is a great way to get rid of all those things that just don’t fit in a garbage can:
- file cabinets
- grills
- lawn mowers
- metal sheds
- wire fencing
- ladders
- pots and pans, toasters
- chairs, metal pipes, tire rims, etc.
Appliances including stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, hot water heaters, freezers and dish washers will incur a $20 per item fee.
Not eligible for pick up:
- Concrete
- Improperly prepared paints
- Hazardous Materials
- Unbundled brush or loose yard waste
- Incorrectly prepared sharp items
- Building materials (such as drywall, shingles and lumber)
Spring Clean Up is also a scavenger hunter’s dream.
We’ve picked up some great, large clay urns, an iron headboard, and garden tools. My wife is still mourning the one that got away though – a metal dress makers form that would have been stunning in the garden.
Plan on roaming the streets later tonight, you never know what you’ll find.
