Yard Waste / Landscape Waste

Yard waste, or landscape waste, collections begin on April 1, 2010 and continue through November 30, 2010. It includes grass clippings, leaves, weeds, trimmings, branches and twigs. It does not include flower arrangements, pumpkins, bales of straw/hay, cornstalks, dirt, landscape stone or rocks, pine cones or sod.

Single-family residents are reminded that yard waste must be placed in biodegradable 2-ply Kraft paper bags or in a rigid 32- gallon container clearly marked with a red “X” around the body of the container. Bags and containers must not exceed 45 pounds in weight. There is no limit to the number of bags or containers. Yard waste in plastic bags or cardboard boxes will not be collected. All yard waste must be placed at the curb for collection by 6:00 AM the day of scheduled collection but not before 5:00 PM the evening before scheduled collections.
