By Jeff Toquinto on March 25, 2026
The details have been being worked out and the schedule has been assembled. And starting in May, the City of Bridgeport will again be 
holding its annual Spring Cleanup.
holding its annual Spring Cleanup.
Community Development Director Andrea Kerr recently released the schedule. It starts Monday, May 4 and concludes on Friday, May 15.
Kerr said earlier the event has become one of the most popular services provided by the city. She said it has become two-fold in its purpose.
“The main thing is that it allows residents to get rid of unwanted items in their homes,” she said. “At the same time, a neighbor, or someone going past some of the items being disposed of are picked up and repurposed.”
The reason for the release of the dates more than a month before the pickup starts is by design, Kerr said previously.
“This gives residents ample time to know when their pickup date is and be able to get everything ready to be taken to their curbs for pickup,” Kerr said.
Kerr reminded residents that the no-charge pickup is only done in the spring.
She added that the amount collected by Waste Management has been consistent in recent years.
“The tonnage collected is in the same range. The pickup totals between 90 and 100 tons each year, which is a significant amount,” Kerr said.
