Sumner's Annual Fall Clean Up Returns Next Month

SUMNER, WA — Need to dump an old appliance? Get rid of some yard waste? Got extra trash around the house? Well, there's a solution to all three of those problems coming up next month with Sumner's Fall Clean Up.

Every year, several Pierce County cities team up with Murrey’s Disposal to offer a free hauling service for customers within city limits. This year, the Fall Clean Up will take place over several days. Here's how it works:

Garbage Removal: Nov. 17

On the 17, residents can leave up to three containers or bags of garbage out for pickup. All three must be 32 gallons or smaller, and weigh less than 45 pounds each. Make sure they're out and ready to be hauled away by 7 a.m., and you're good to go. Murrey's does ask that you don't leave tires out for disposal, however.

Yard Waste Removal: Nov. 17 or 24

As with garbage removal, customers can leave up to three containers or biodegradable bags of 32 gallons or less. For customers who leave their trash by the curb, this will happen on Nov. 17. Customers who have alley pick up services, the date is Nov. 24.

Appliance Removal: Nov. 20

Customers can leave one old appliance out for removal on Saturday, Nov. 20. Accepted appliances include: fridges, ranges, freezers, furnaces, dryers, washing machines, dish washers, hot water tanks and trash compactors. As with the other pickups, you just need to have it out and ready to go by 7 a.m.
