  The Garnett City Commission has designated October 30 through November 3, 2023 as Fall Clean-Up Week for residential areas only. 
  The City-Wide Clean-Up Week allows city crews to pick up items left curbside, or alley, to dispose of at the county landfill at no charge to city refuse customers who participate by placing their unwanted items out for city crews to pick up.. 
  In the past, the City of Garnett was not charged by Anderson County for disposal of Clean-Up Week items taken to the County Landfill. And likewise, Anderson County has allowed for a Free Dump Week to give all Anderson County residents the opportunity to discard unwanted items at the landfill at no charge. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:

  • The City of Garnett (municipality) will be charged by Anderson County for dumping fees for items picked up during Clean-Up Week, just like any other week. For this year (2023), this cost will not be passed on to our refuse customers.

  During City-Wide Clean-Up Week, October 30 through November 3, city crews will start on the north side of town and proceed south until the entire town has been covered. CITY CREWS WILL NOT GO BACK once they have been through. Please be ready!
