The City of Bethany's bulk waste cleanup happens quarterly. Each time, the Public Works Department will start on the North side of town and work south.

For their safety and yours, we would encourage residents to seek alternative routes if you encounter cleanup crews between the hours of 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM. Please be advised that temporary street closures may occur and delays are possible. The following rules and guidelines should be followed by each residence wishing to participate.
