Yard waste/food scrap compost will be picked up once-a-week, on your regular pick-up day, at the curb April 1st through December 11th. Note: Some areas require stickers (please call us about a sticker) for yard waste pick up or a subscription to our yard waste program. Christmas/Holiday trees will be collected at the curb during your normal pickup day at no extra charge through January 15, 2021.

Unbundled Waste
Yard waste is collected on the same day as your refuse pickup. We will accept food scraps in yard waste. Leaves, grass, twigs, and branches too small to bundle may be placed in a paper bag, box or disposal container and may not exceed 50 pounds in weight. Loose piles of grass or other waste will not be accepted.

Bundled Waste
Tree and shrub limbs must be bundled with biodegradable string or twine. Wire, tape or plastic are unacceptable binding materials. Bundles may not exceed 5 feet in length and 2 feet in diameter.
