Alpine residents can haul yard waste, old furniture, and other household junk to Creekside Park for free on Saturday, Nov. 7, according to a notice on the city's website. The city is placing dumpsters at the park, located at 455 Village Way, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. as part of its Fall Clean-up Day.
The list of accepted items is broad and includes tree limbs, shrubbery, grass clippings, green yard waste, building materials, furniture, limited appliances, and various household items. However, the city will not accept sod, dirt, rocks, treated wood, animal waste, construction debris, concrete, railroad ties, mattresses, or box springs.
Refrigerators are also excluded from the event. Additionally, hazardous materials such as lithium-ion batteries, anything containing freon, tires, tanks, drums, barrels, and toxic or flammable materials are banned. Residents attempting to drop off liquid or septic loads, dead animals, or motorized vehicles will be turned away.
The city's notice mentions that limited appliances are accepted, though it does not specify which specific items qualify. Residents with questions regarding what can be brought may contact Alpine City Hall before loading their vehicles.
This event marks at least the second cleanup the city has offered in 2026. An earlier Neighborhood Clean Up Day was scheduled for April 25 at Creekside Park with the same hours and item guidelines, according to an announcement from the city's official X account on April 3.
The dumpsters will close at 2 p.m. on Nov. 7. The city has not announced a scheduled date for the next cleanup event beyond this fall date.
