Spring Clean-up Weekend!

The annual Citywide Spring Clean-up is set for June 21st & 22nd! The landfill will be open all day Saturday and Sunday, with roll-off containers available for disposal.

We will not be collecting items from the curb as we’ve done in the past, but we’re happy to help with loading or transporting large items to the landfill. If you need assistance, please contact City Hall at least 24 hours in advance to be added to the schedule.

Compost will be available for purchase at $20 per loader bucket. Please bring your own trailer or other means for hauling. Smaller quantities will be free to those who would like to fill their own containers, such as 5-gallon buckets.

With yard work in full swing, we also encourage everyone to review a few key ordinances which are listed below. These ordinances help maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming community while preventing potential hazards. By keeping your property in compliance, you’re helping to keep Gladstone clean, safe, and looking its best!
