Spirit Lake, IA (northwestiowanow.com) — It’s cleanup week in Spirit Lake. Sanitation crews will pick up items not accepted the rest of the week like carpet and pads, furniture, and lumber. All appliances and electronics, tires, and box springs and mattresses still require the city tags like normal.
It’s important to note that pickup has already begun along regular garbage routes, so if the truck has already gone by your house, they will not be making a return trip.
