Yard Waste Pick Up
Yard waste pick up begins the first full week of April and runs through the second week of December. A reminder on the guidelines:
Yard waste is considered to be grass, leaves, spent garden plants, flowers, weeds, pine needles, pine cones, acorns, chestnuts, walnuts, apples, pumpkins, loose straw (not baled), vines, twigs and woody material up to 2" in diameter. Branches must be cut no longer than 4' (feet) and be no thicker than 6" (inches) in diameter, and must be bundled. Logs, stumps, dirt, or rocks are not accepted.
Yard waste cannot be mixed in the same container with regular trash at any time of the year. Acceptable containers for yard waste are 32-35 gallon containers with a yard waste decal facing the street (decals available at the Department of Public Works or at City Hall), or a kraft paper landscape bag. Containers cannot weigh more than 60 pounds. Plastic bags are no longer acceptable for yard waste of any kind.
