ANSBACH, Germany — The USAG Ansbach community will conduct its annual community Spring Clean-up May 5 - 8, 2025.

The intent is to prepare for the spring and summer in the community after the effects of winter.

Community Yard Sales

As a new addition to the clean-up efforts, residents are encouraged to host yard sales at their own on-post homes during the Saturdays, April 19, 26 & May 3, preceding the event. This will allow residents to declutter their homes, minimizing the overall volume of refuse collected during the clean-up.

Family Housing / Single Soldier Living Quarters

During the first part of the clean-up, May 5 & 6, in and around Army Family Housing (stairwells, duplexes and single-family homes), Soldiers' quarters, common areas, and Adopt-An-Area zones the intended focus will be on entire buildings.

This includes, but is not limited to, personal quarters, basements, washrooms, storage rooms, and a 50 foot perimeter around stairwell buildings, duplex/single family homes, common areas, and playgrounds.

This an opportunity to remove items like abandoned grills, bikes and tires and other bulky things.

Please ensure areas are free of trash and personal items, Directorate of Public Work (DPW) has begun seasonal landscaping services such as lawn mowing, so there is no need to rake leaves.

Additionally, please refrain from trimming tress and bushes as it is bird nesting season and prohibited during this time. DPW personnel will take care of bushes and branches so as not to disturb the birds and other wildlife.

Curbside bulk trash pickup / HAZMAT pick-up

The second part of the clean-up begins May 7 with bulk trash curbside pickup in the Army Family Housing areas. It's preferred that bulk item are at the curb by the evening of May 6, but no later than 6:30 a.m. on May 7.

Also on May 7, assigned unit personnel will pick up batteries, tires, and other Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) items. As a reminder, if you have HAZMAT items throughout the rest of the year, you can drop them of at the Recycle Centers on Katterbach Kaserne or Storck Barracks.
