Neighborhood Clean-Up & Clear-Out

You can bring unwanted items to dispose of in the on-site dumpster in the parking lot of Grace United Methodist Church. You can also bring unwanted, but still useable items, and the Salvation Army will be on hand to collect donattions and non-toxic e-waste. You can also place large items you want to dispose of at your curbside for the city trash truck to pick-up. The truck will be circulating through Bluff Heights from 9:00 AM to 12:00PM. 

At-Home Curbside "Trash" Collection of Oversized Items

At-home curbside “Trash” pick-up of oversized items must be left curbside by 8:00 am on June 04, 2022 only! (Note: Open to Bluff Heights Residents Only - area map at: www.bluffheights.org/about)! Before discarding any unwanted item, first determine if this item can be donated to the “Salvation Army” team to be reused for someone in need. A “Salvation Army” donation truck will be positioned onsite at our location across from Grace United Methodist Church (Junipero and 3rd).
