Annual Curbside Cleanup Event

Notice: Uncollected Brush from Curbside Cleanup Day

  • We appreciate everyone who participated in the 2025 Curbside Cleanup Day this past Saturday. However, we’ve noticed several brush piles placed at the curb that were not collected during the event.
  • We’d like to kindly remind residents that loose brush and yard debris were not accepted as part of the Cleanup Day guidelines.
  • The event was limited to bulky household items only, and only small, securely tied brush bundles (under 4 ft. in length, 4 inches in diameter, and no more than 40 lbs) were eligible for pickup.
  • Unfortunately, any piles that did not meet these requirements could not be collected and are now the responsibility of the property owner to remove or arrange for proper disposal.

Think Your Curbside Pickup Was Missed?

If you believe your items were missed during the recent Curbside Cleanup Day, please contact Waste Connections directly. They’ll be happy to help investigate and provide guidance.

Planned Street Repairs

The City of Jonestown manages over 33 miles of roadways within its jurisdiction. The City’s street maintenance program aims to preserve and improve the conditions of existing roadways by monitoring the state of its roadways and systematically repairing or repaving the top layers of City streets as needed.

The City prioritizes street maintenance based on the structural pavement condition of our roadways.  Pavement Condition Assessments are performed city wide and ranked on a scale reflecting the pavement’s structural condition.  We then use these assessments to prioritize areas in most urgent need of repair and resurfacing. 

Road improvement construction will be completed the year after the project is approved by Council. For Street Maintenance Projects approved in 2023, road work will begin in 2024.
