Commerce cleanup week starts Monday

That’s the one week a year when the city’s Public Works Department will pick up items other than leaves, limbs and yard trimmings.

The department will pick up household items such as furniture, appliances, scrap metal and bedding placed at curbside.

However, it will not pick up construction materials, hazardous wastes, paint and paint cans or tires.

The annual event applies to residential property only. Residents are asked to have the materials out by the roadside by Monday, Oct. 19.
