LEWISTON — The city of Lewiston will hold its annual spring clean-up week beginning April 24 through 28. At that time, Lewiston’s Public Works Department will collect brush from residential properties (butt ends to face the street). Quantities are limited to no more than one one standard pick-up truck load per residence.
All brush to be collected by city staff must be curbside no later than Sunday, April 23. City staff will be collecting the curbside brush throughout the week, but once brush has been collected from a given street, staff will not return to collect brush from that street. Lewiston Public Works Department staff will not collect tree stumps, wood greater than 12 inches in diameter, or any demolition wood such as fencing, old decking or wood from construction/demolition projects.
Historically, Lewiston provided one week in April when residents could dispose of solid waste items generated at their homes at the City’s Solid Waste Facility and were not charged a disposal fee. That program has been modified. The new program allows residential property owners to set up an ePass account for this service.
There is no charge to establish the ePass account, and this can be done at the treasurer’s office (second floor, Lewiston City Hall, 27 Pine St.) or the Scale House at the Solid Waste Facility, 424 River Road. Once the account has been set up, the resident can dispose of up to 1,000 pounds of household waste (construction & demolition waste, refrigerated appliances, old furniture, yard debris, waste tires, electronic waste items, etc.) at no cost. The ePass account is good for one year from the date of issue.
Residents who are tenants of rental property may also obtain an ePass account, but they will be required to pay $20 for this service. Once the 1,000-pound limit has been exceeded, residents will be charged the nominal disposal fee, $93/ton ($95/ton for construction and demo waste), for any overage.
Residents can dispose of their household waste at the Solid Waste Facility, 424 River Road, during normal business hours — 7:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. weekdays — and from 8 to 11:50 a.m. Saturdays. Gates are closed at the listed closing times; therefore, please arrive 15 minutes prior to closing to assure adequate time to dispose of waste items.
