To-Do List This Weekend: Get Ready for Urbandale Spring Cleanup

This is the weekend Urbandale residents get to show off their junk.

All weekend, you'll see us dragging our old furniture, lawn mowers and carpet remnants etc. to the curb.

Much of it will be gone before the city starts to collect it next week, as urban pickers drive up and down the city's residential streets, picking up items to repair, recycle, reuse or resell.

It's a rite of spring in suburbia, so enjoy.

For a list of acceptable and unacceptable items and more details, check the spring cleanup article on the city's website
