Anchorage's citywide Spring Cleanup is scheduled for May 1-8. Elmendorf units are responsible for ground maintenance of their own areas. The dates for main base clean-up "not including housing areas" are May 6-7. A copy of the base appearance plan is located on the Elmendorf SharePoint site at https://elmendorf.eim.pacaf.af.mil/Base%20Appearance/Forms/AllItems.aspx.

Unit point of contacts will be provided orange bags which are required to identify trash from cleanup details and allow for free dumping. No hazardous materials should be placed in these bags. For large items contact the 3rd Civil Engineer Squadron Heavy Equipment Section at 552-2994 to precoordinate a pick-up time.

Scrap wood, metal and cardboard can be dropped off at the Elmendorf Recycling Center weekdays from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Units will be required to dispose of their own trash at the city landfill, loads must not exceed the size of a standard pick-up bed and must be secured and covered to prevent spillage while traveling and loads must not exceed 1000 pounds. Unsecured loads or improperly covered loads will be subject to a $10 fine before dumping.

The citywide cleanup information is located on the Chamber of Commerce Web site. People who live in the Anchorage community should visit the site at http://www.anchoragechamber.org/cms/RunScript.asp?Article_type=General&p=ASP\Pg0.asp for more information on free dumping.
