It's Back: City of Bridgeport's Annual Spring Cleanup to Begin Monday; Dates for Streets Listed Here

By Jeff Toquinto on April 28, 2023

One of the most highly anticipated and utilized city events that was only knocked out by COVID in 2020 is back for another round. Bridgeport Community Development Director Andrea Kerr confirmed the city will host the annual Spring Cleanup.
 
It got knocked out by COVID-19 in 2020 but returned last year. And now the City of Bridgeport has confirmed it will be back again this year.
 
The annual Bridgeport Spring Cleanup will begin May 1 and run through May 12.  The project, done through the services of Waste Management, has up to $20,000 budgeted, she said.
 
“We hire Waste Management to do this cleanup for all residents in Bridgeport,” said Kerr. “The residents can put anything out that they want, outside of certain hazardous and prohibited items, to get rid of at no charge to the residents.”
 
The rules are simple for pickup. Residents are asked to put place items at the end of their driveway or curb for pickup. If not in those areas, the items will not be picked up.
 
“This is very well received, and it comes at a time when nicer weather will be here, and people are wanting to rid their house of what they would consider junk items. This is the perfect opportunity for residents to get rid of unwanted items that, in many ways, can help keep trash down in the city,” said Kerr. “It keeps the city clean and free of debris and the residents get to their homes tidy.”
 
The prohibited items include the following: appliances containing freon; asphalt, cement, concrete; automobile parts; batteries; construction waste; dead animals; demolition waste; dirt and rocks; free flowing liquids; gasoline; hazardous waste (as defined by any State DEP or EPA listing); industrial waste; infectious waste; medical waste; paint, oil, chemicals, pesticides; propane tanks; scrap metal; sewage sludge; and yard waste.
