Crookston’s Fall Clean-Up Week is coming up in two weeks, and the Crookston Public Works Department is looking to try new guidelines for the week. The complete list of guidelines for the week can be seen below-
Items should be placed on boulevards no more than 24 hours before your collection day. Remember, Fall Clean-Up Week is from October 24 to October 28 in Crookston.
Single-family dwelling clean-up items will be picked up only on its regular garbage pickup day and must be placed on the street boulevard by 7:00 a.m. Only household quantities of debris will be accepted.
The City of Crookston will collect the following items if separated into separate piles:
Bagged garbage, clothing, and cardboard – (Weight limit 30 pounds per bag with each bag no larger than 35 gallons. Up to 30 bags per household will be collected. No loose garbage will be collected.)
Appliances – (Limit 2)
Bypass, furniture, mattresses, metal items, demolition-bypass – (3 furniture items, four mattresses, and a demolition-bypass pile with a maximum dimension of 15’L by 4’W by 3’H.)

Automotive tires and rims – (Limit 4)
Placing these items in separate piles will help speed up the clean-up process. In awareness of clean-up week in Crookston, Polk County Public Health advises residents not to bring furniture, mattresses, box springs, or bed frames found on the street into their homes to prevent the spread of bed bugs. https://www.bedbugs.umn.edu/
As required by State Law, all video display devices (TVs, computer monitors, etc.) cannot be landfilled. Therefore, these items WILL NOT be collected during clean-up. These devices may be disposed of at Polk County Environmental Services (Transfer Station).
Concrete, batteries, partially full paint cans, chemicals, or large amounts of demolition debris WILL NOT be accepted.
