Yard Waste 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
Yard waste is collected weekly. Yard waste collection is available by subscription in designated areas.
Extra Yard Trimmings
There is a charge for additional units of yard trimmings beyond the basic service.
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.

| Yard Trimmings Prohibited in Garbage |
Yard trimmings are prohibited from garbage containers. Yard trimmings create extra landfill expense, but can provide nutritious compost and mulch if composted.
Options for Disposing of Yard Trimmings:
Compost in your yard (most energy efficient choice!)
Put yard trimmings in a yard cart to be collected at the curb
Take yard trimmings to a transfer station that accepts "clean green".
