HENDERSON, KY – March 7, 2025: The City of Henderson is excited to announce the annual Spring Cleanup, a great opportunity for residents to spruce up their homes and neighborhoods. This year, the cleanup will be held in two phases, starting on March 24 and April 14.
Here’s how it works:
Phase 1: Residents south of Second Street should have their items out by 7 a.m. on Monday, March 24.
Phase 2: Residents north of Second Street should have their items out by 7 a.m. on Monday, April 14.
Crews will be canvassing the city, and while they aim to collect all items as quickly as possible, please be patient if your debris isn’t picked up immediately. Once an area is collected, crews will not return, so make sure your items are out on time.
What will be collected:
Large items such as tree limbs, broken furniture, and yard debris (including brush and limbs) will be picked up at no charge.
A maximum of one small pickup truck-sized load of general household debris and one small pickup truck-sized load of yard debris will be accepted per household.
What won’t be collected:
Tires, batteries, oil, paint, air conditioners, refrigerators, and other hazardous items.
Guidelines:
Separation is key: Please keep household trash and yard debris separate. Mixing them could result in the entire load being sent to the landfill, which comes at a higher cost to taxpayers.
Placement: Debris should be placed on the ground (not on a trailer) near your regular trash collection area, but away from structures like fences, poles, and fire hydrants to ensure easy access for pickup.
No need to call: Crews will automatically cover every street and alley in the city. Just make sure your items are ready by the appropriate date, and be patient as crews work through the area.
Missed the deadline? If you miss the scheduled pickup time or have more than the allowed amount, you can arrange a special pickup for a fee by calling Public Works at 270-831-1234.
Landfill option: Residents can always dispose of items directly at the landfill, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
This cleanup event is for residential properties only, and not for vacant lots, commercial use, or construction/demolition debris.
“By following these simple guidelines, we can ensure the cleanup is fast and efficient,” offered City Public Works Director Brian Williams. “We appreciate your cooperation in making this event a success and should you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact Public Works at 270-831-1234.”
