Residents of Springfield Township may take advantage of the annual spring cleanup day to dispose of all those extra items that turn up during spring cleaning.
The collection is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, May 17 at the Springfield Oaks Youth Activity Center, 12451 Andersonville Road.

? Pickup trucks: $5
? Large trucks: $10
? Tires: $1 each (must be removed from rims)
? Freon appliances: $10 each
In addition, brush will be accepted at no extra charge, and chippers will be on site. No branches, limbs or trunks more than 6 inches in diameter will be accepted, and residents are asked to trim branches off main limbs for ease of handling. Brush must be separated from all other trash.
Items not allowed include farm tractor tires, leaves or grass clippings, stumps, oil, paint, flammable liquids, concrete or bricks. No commercial dumping will be allowed, and residents are asked to bag, box or bundle all trash if at all possible.
