2024 Yard Waste Collection Begins the Week of April 10

2024 yard waste collection begins the week of April 10. Yard waste collection will be picked up on the same day as your bulk waste and recycling. Yard waste will be collected a biweekly basis until December.

Residents are asked to adhere to the guidelines below to ensure your yard waste is collected:

• Residents can place grass clippings, leaves, and small twigs that are no more than two inches in diameter in biodegradable paper bags on their bi-weekly scheduled bulk collection day. 
• Branches and twigs that are up to four feet in length and no more than four inches in diameter should be bundled and tied securely and placed at the curbline.
• Individual bundles should not weigh more than 60 pounds.
• When placing bagged yard waste at the curb, it should be at least six feet from the city garbage container or in a personal garbage container that is clearly labeled “yard waste” on two sides of the container. 
• The City’s contractors, Advanced Disposal now part of Waste Management and GFL Environmental, will not collect yard waste in plastic bags.
