Porterville, CA - The City of Porterville would like to remind residents about the upcoming annual Spring Community Clean-Up Event. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. City of Porterville residents will be able to participate in the City sponsored event with a current refuse bill as proof of residency. In order to encourage property maintenance and community beautification, the City offers residential refuse customers free disposal of general trash, bulk items, wood waste, yard clippings, and e-waste at the City’s Corporation Yard located at 555 N. Prospect Street. Business or commercial waste is not allowed as well as refrigerators and tires. Trailers will be limited to no longer than ten (10) feet, with participants own vehicle.
In order to further assist the community beautification efforts, The City of Porterville would also like to remind residents about keeping clear sidewalks and curbs. Please remember to not block sidewalks with refuse cans, basketball hoops, vehicles and other obstructive objects. Refuse cans are to be placed curbside on the scheduled collection day and removed promptly after. Residents are also asked to park their vehicles in their driveway, if possible, when street sweeping occurs. The street sweeping schedule can be found at: https://www.ci.porterville.ca.us/departments/public_works/field_services_division/street___signal_maintenance.php.
Remembering these easy habits will help maintain accessible sidewalks and clean streets for our neighbors. Being mindful of blocked walkways is considerate and also keeps home owners in ADA compliance. For those not within City limits, Tulare County will also be holding their household hazardous waste drop off that same day from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the County Fire Station located at 22315 Ave. 152.
