<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">HARRISBURG &#8211; Harrisburg Streets and Public Improvements Commissioner Natalie Miller said she wants to remind residents that the city's annual Spring Cleanup event is the first week of April.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">"The city is having its annual Spring Cleanup to allow its citizens to get rid of unwanted items that aren't necessarily picked up by trash services," Miller said.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The cleanup is 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday the first week of April.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Miller said those who wish to dispose of items must be city residents, and they must take items to be disposed to the city's property at North Veterans Drive.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">"They'll have to bring it to us," she said. "We aren't going to go get them."

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Proof of residency &#8211; a driver's license, a water bill or other documents will be required. Miller also said some items are not permitted.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Those prohibited items are household garbage, demolition materials like lumber, roofing and building materials, tires, batteries, electronics and paint cans.
