Yardwaste cannot be disposed of in your normal trash can. Yardwaste includes grass clippings, brush, weeds, leaves, garden and household organic plant material and small branches.

Yardwaste does not include Christmas wreaths, pumpkins, fruit/vegetables, hay or corn stalks. These items should be disposed of in your compost or trash. Occasional floral arrangements or household plants may also be disposed of in the trash.

How to Dispose of Yardwaste

• Yardwaste collection runs from April - November.
• Yardwaste must be placed in biodegradable Kraft paper bags (34 gallons/50lbs. max) or a yard waste toter.
• Prior to disposing of yardwaste, shake away any loose soil.
• Place a yardwaste sticker(s) on all Kraft bags and yard waste toters for collection. Make sure stickers are visible to the waste haulers from the street.
