Village Spring Cleanup 2024 is Saturday, May 18!
May 18 is Spring Cleanup from 9am to 1 pm, and this year we’re trying something new: Swapoween! at the Community Building parking lot. You can show up with a truck-bed load of trash as usual for the dumpsters, and/or you can set up a table of stuff, spread out a tarp, or just trade individual items—a chance to hang out a bit and get to know your neighbors and their stuff. At 1 p.m., you can throw your stuff in the dumpster (for a sliding scale fee depending on the amount). Village residents only!

Trash
The Village of Elberta has residential curbside trash pick-up through Republic Services. Household trash in a Republic bag or cart is picked up Friday mornings (Saturdays when there is a national holiday that week). Bags or carts should be at the curb by 8 am on the day of pick-up.
- Garbage bags are sold at the Village Office: $30 for a pack of 10.
- Residential 96 gal carts are also available at $17/mo through the Village.
Contact the Village Office at 231-352-7201 for more information or to sign up for a cart. You can also email your requests to clerk@villageofelberta.com.
The Village contract with Republic also includes a reduced rate for business dumpsters. Businesses should contact Republic Services directly at 877-698-7274 to make arrangements for trash services.
