The City of Greeley’s annual Spring Clean-Up is returning May 8 and 9, with new rules residents should know before they arrive. The event runs from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. both days at the site west of 14th Avenue and A Street. Admission is $25 per car or pickup truck load, or $35 per trailer. The city accepts cash, checks and credit cards.
Key changes for 2026

- No household trash.
- No bagged items. All materials must be fully visible and unbagged when vehicles enter the site. Vehicles with bagged loads will be turned away.
- No enclosed trailers or box trucks.
- Freon-containing appliances—such as refrigerators, air conditioners and freezers—are limited to one per household.
- Tires are accepted (maximum four, under 20 inches), but rims must be removed before drop-off.
