Galva’s second annual cleanup week is set for September 24th through 27th, offering a chance for residents to clear out eligible items at the city maintenance yard. Proof of residency is required, and some items, such as shingles, yard waste, and hazardous materials, are not accepted. Special assistance with item pickup is available for handicapped or elderly residents—requests must be made by calling City Hall before September 24th. Only one scheduled curbside pickup per household will be allowed. Electronic waste can be dropped off at Eagle Enterprises for a fee.
Residents who are handicapped, elderly, or otherwise unable to bring items to the maintenance yard are encouraged to contact City Hall for assistance with scheduled pickups. To arrange for this service, call 309-932-2555 before September 24th. Remember, only one pickup per residence will be provided, and items must be placed on the curb on September 23rd—pickup teams will not enter backyards or other structures. Due to limited staff, this assistance is reserved for those who truly need help, and services will only be available on Wednesday, September 24th. Remember, unscheduled pickups will not be honored, so be sure to call ahead.
Eagle Enterprises will now accept televisions and electronic components for a fee during regular business hours. For questions about accepted items, call 932-2936. Additionally, the maintenance yard will extend its hours to assist with cleanup. On September 24th and 25th, hours are from 7 AM to 5 PM; on September 26th, from 7 AM to 3 PM; and on September 27th, from 7 AM to noon. City Hall staff are available to answer questions at 309-932-2555, from 8 AM to 4:30 PM. Don’t miss this opportunity for responsible disposal.
