Village of Antioch Spring Clean‐up day will be held on Thursday, May 21, 2020.
This service only applies to addresses located within the Village limits included in the Groot contract and does not include Antioch Township or Unincorporated Antioch areas.
Items must be curbside by 6:00 am and should be broken down so that any one person can handle the item and lift it into a truck.
Because many people may be cleaning up their homes during the Coronavirus pandemic, efforts may take longer than the typical 1-day route. Crews will make sure garbage and recycling are picked up before focusing on the clean-up items. If necessary, pickups may be scheduled for Friday, and possibly Saturday depending on volume.
