Yard Debris Collection
 Composting your yard waste
helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve soil quality, reduce the need
for chemicals and fertilizers and save water.
Collection Schedule
Customers subscribing to yard waste receive collection every other week year
round.
Collection rates
There is a charge for additional units of yard
trimmings (no food scraps) beyond the basic
service.
Extra yard waste, $2.35- each Kraft bag or
32-gallon container. Please label "Yard"
(65-pound limit).
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 (65 lb.
limit) labeled "Yard" or
Bundles tied with sisal twine (4'x2' limit)
* Yard trimmings are not accepted in
plastic bags.
Plastic bags are not compostable and cause
processing and odor problems at the
composting facility.
