The 2026 Project Clean Sweep is a program sponsored by the City of Show Low to help our citizens rid their property of unwanted items such as green waste, excess trash and abandoned vehicles. This project’s primary goal is to make our City more fire-wise and free of unwanted or discarded litter by sponsoring low-cost or free-of charge events that residents may take advantage of for waste and debris disposal.
Participation in the program is free to those presenting proof of residency via a City of Show Low utility bill displaying current refuse service. Please note that commercial businesses are excluded from the program.
