   Citizens can take part in the cleanup campaign in five simple ways:
   Clean their house gutters .
   Paint their house exterior .
   Clear their property of weeds , vines and overgrowth .
   Landscape their yards using flowers , mulch and other materials .
   Set debris , appliances and furniture at the curbside for city Public Works crews to pick up .
   To support the cleanup campaign , the Public Works Department again is waiving several fees and restrictions regarding yard waste , large bulk debris , tire disposal and appliance pickups .
   No rental trailers are available , but Public Works will allow oversized piles of yard waste and large bulk debris to be placed at the residential curbside for collection by a bucket truck . Residents are asked to separate the yard waste from the large bulk debris . Loose leaves and grass clippings must be bagged . Collection will take place once a week on the regular scheduled weekday .
   The waiver of fees and restrictions does not include tree stumps , debris generated by tree contractors , large bulk debris generated by contractors , and construction or demolition debris from contractors .
   By appointment , crews will collect large appliances for free and heavy debris such as bricks , rocks , cinder blocks and dirt . Heavy debris from contractors will not be collected free of charge .
   The fee for tire disposal will be waived for residents , but is limited to only four tires per household . Commercial tires are not included in the fee waiver .
