Yard Waste Rules
Your cooperation is required if we are to succeed in this endeavor. You can be even more helpful by using a mulching lawn mower and/or composting yard waste in your backyard.
Please follow the yard waste procedures below:
- Yard waste (grass clippings, garden waste and leaves) must be separated from regular household rubbish and placed AT THE CURB on regular rubbish pick-up days by 7am. Separate yard waste collection begins in April and continues through the summer and into the fall. Pickups end around November, depending on the growing season.
- Yard waste must be in paper biodegradable bags or a 32 gallon container with a yard waste sticker. Bags are available at local hardware stores. No loose materials.
- A different truck picks up yard waste, so don't be concerned if the regular rubbish crew departs without collecting your yard waste.
- Residents are required to cut brush and limbs in 4-foot lengths with a maximum of 6 inches of diameter and tie them in bundles which can be lifted by one person. Please remember that landscape contractors must remove their own debris.
- Separate procedures apply during leaf collection season to allow curbside leaf collection. Look for your fall informative bulletin for details.
