The City of Bartlesville will hold its next free residential yard debris collection next week, Dec. 6-10. During this special event, which is held every spring and fall, Public Works Department crews will collect residential yard debris — leaves, grass, lawn clippings and small branches — as a service to City Solid Waste customers.
“We hold this event twice a year to help citizens dispose of their dead leaves, lawn clippings and other yard debris at no extra cost to them,” said Public Works Director Keith Henry.
The events are scheduled in the spring and fall to best accommodate citizens’ needs, Henry said.
“This collection is a little later than we typically schedule in the fall, but it actually worked out well because the leaves starting falling a little later this year than usual,” he said.
Residents may place their leaves, grass, lawn clippings and other yard debris at the curb in bags on their normal trash collection day for collection.
The collection is for the following items only:
- Leaves
- Grass
- Lawn clippings
- Limbs and branches if cut in lengths no longer than four feet and bundled (may not exceed 50 pounds)
During this week only, yard debris bags will not require yard waste stickers, and clear or colored bags are allowed. The collection is for private residences only; no commercial collections will be made. There is no limit on the number of bags a resident can put out for the collection. Extra bags or items of household refuse outside the cart must have the red refuse sticker attached.
