The City’s free yard waste collection campaign is underway this week. The event is a one-week campaign that the City holds twice a year to help Solid Waste Department customers dispose of leaves, grass, yard clippings and other yard debris at no extra cost.
Bagged yard waste and bundled branches cut to four feet in length or less will be collected on the customers’ regular trash collection day.
“Pickup is on the customers’ normal trash collection day, and bags must be placed at the curb by 6 a.m. that day,” said Public Works Director Keith Henry.
Separate trucks are used to collect trash and yard waste.
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.
