24th Annual Clean Sweep Project
The 2022 Project Clean Sweep, our popular and successful beautification program, is a program sponsored by the City of Show Low to help our citizens rid their property of unwanted items such as green waste and abandoned vehicles. This project’s primary goal is to make our city more fire-safe and attractive. Project Clean Sweep helps you be fire-safe by sponsoring events that will protect your home and your loved ones. This project could also increase your property value by making your home more attractive and convenient to eliminate unwanted items. Please take advantage of these services and show our pride in our community.

- We received many calls from concerned citizens about the fact that their Bulk items were NOT picked up on their regular trash day. Due to the extensive participation in this event, the City crews were unable to get to each neighborhood on their regular trash pick-up day. Three City crews go out in neighborhoods, one for green waste pick up, one for excess trash, and one for appliances, tires, etc. After trucks are full, the driver would dispose of those loads before returning to the neighborhoods to continue pickup. All bulk items meeting the requirements will be picked up. Crews will continue pick-up routes into the next week, if necessary. You may call Show Low Public Works with any questions or concerns at 928-532-4100.
