Extra Yard Trimmings

There is a charge for additional units of yard trimmings (no food scraps) beyond the basic service.

Extra yard debris carts are available for a reduced rate.

For yard trimmings that don't fit in your yard cart you may use:

Paper yard bags (available at home and garden stores), or
32-gal. cans with handles & lids (55 lb. limit) labeled "Yard" or
Bundles tied with sisal twine (4'x2' limit)
If you have more than an occasional extra bag of yard debris, it would be less expensive to request an extra cart.

* Yard trimmings are not accepted in plastic bags.

Plastic bags are not compostable and cause processing and odor problems at the composting facility.
