The Garnett City Commission has designated one week as Fall Clean-Up Week for residential areas only. The City-Wide Clean-Up Week allows city crews to pick up items left curbside, to dispose of at the county landfill at no charge to city refuse customers who participate by placing their unwanted items out for city crews to pick up.  

There Will Be No Brush Picked Up During Cleanup Week.

Please Note The Following Changes:

• The City of Garnett (municipality) will be charged by Anderson County for dumping fees for items picked up during Clean-Up Week, just like any other week. For this year (2024), this cost will not be passed on to our refuse customers. Note: This is NOT a free dump week. If you choose to take your unwanted items to the county landfill, you will be charged a fee.

  During City-Wide Clean-Up Week, November 4-8, 2024, city crews will start on the north side of town and proceed south until the entire town has been covered. City Crews Will Not Go Back once they have been through. Please be ready!
