The City’s free yard debris collection is underway this week, Dec. 8-12.
Bartlesville residents can put their bagged yard debris or bundled tree limbs at their normal trash collection point on their normal trash day during the week of the event and City crews will come by and pick them up.
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 event 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.
“While yard debris will be collected on your normal trash collection day, it will be collected by a different truck and crew,” said Public Works Director Keith Henry. “So if you see that your trash is gone but your leaves are still there, just know that your leaves will be picked up later that day.”
