Villagers have their annual opportunity to put their junk by the curb and have someone else haul it away beginning next Monday, May 14. The annual Yellow Springs Clean-Up Week extends through Friday, May 18, and during this time Rumpke employees will take away household items that villagers leave out by the street. Clean-up Week follows the schedule of trash pick-up.
