Bulk Waste Pick Up Set for Wednesday, Thursday

All material should be out at the curb on the evening before pick up.

If spring cleaning has left you with items you no longer want or need, it's time to haul them to the curb. Springfield's bulk waste will be picked up Wednesday and Thursday.

According to Springfield Township's website, if your garbage was picked up on Monday and Thursday in 2012, your bulk waste will be picked up on Wednesday. If your garbage was collected Tuesday and Friday last year, your bulk pickup will be the Thursday.

All material should be out at the curbside the evening before the pick up. There is no need to schedule an appointment for collection.
