East Alton will host its annual Village Spring Cleanup beginning Monday. During the normal garbage pick-up day next week, residents may put out bulk items and other junk not suitable for normal garbage pick-up.
Mayor Joe Silkwood tells The Big Z you should have those items placed in the area your normal trash is located by 6am on your designated day.

Some items are not allowed, like electronics, tires, shingles, car parts, concrete, and hazardous materials such as oil, paint, asbestos. If you would prefer to haul your bulk items to the village drop-off center, you can do so at no charge to village residents. You must be able to show proof of residency. The Village Drop-Off Center is located at 4th & Playground Court, behind the Municipal Garage, and will be open Monday-Friday from 7am-2:30pm and Saturday from 8am-11:50am.
