Basic Service

Included in your basic service is the collection of; limbs (under 6 inches in diameter), shrubs (without root balls), brush, Christmas trees and other common yard trimmings (excluding grass). Collection includes up to one pickup truck sized load weekly. During leaf collection season (starting around October 20th and ending as weather dictates, but not later than February 15th), loose-limb collection ends as crews focus on leaf collection.

Advanced Service

For an additional charge, other items can be collected.

Grass must be bagged in plastic bags bearing a "grass sticker" for collection. Save landfill space and mulch your grass as an alternative. Stickers can be purchased at City Hall for $1.25 each.

To receive the best service possible, please follow these guidelines:

• Have yard waste curbside by 6:00a.m. Once trucks pass through your neighborhood, they cannot return.
• Limbs can be up to 30 feet in length but must be smaller than 6 inches in diameter to be collected; place "butt-ends" facing the street.
• Loose yard waste (small trimmings, sticks and small shrubs) should be bagged, or placed in a separate can for collection.
• No dirt of any kind can be collected; no root balls.
• No contractor yard waste. Your service is limited to what you or your immediate family living at the residence have cut. Home or property owner is responsible for ensuring removal of any yard waste cut by person(s) receiving compensation for trimming/cutting.
• Please do not block collections with cars.
• Limit bags and personal cans with yard waste to 30lbs.
