Yard Waste Guidelines

Yard waste, including bagged debris, is picked up on standard collection days by your service provider.
Branches, shrubs, and stumps (not over 6 ft. in length or 50 lbs. in weight) should be stacked neatly parallel to the curb.
Leaves, grass clippings, twigs, and small pieces of yard waste must be bagged, bundled, or placed in a garbage receptacle no larger than 32 gallons and 50 lbs.
With large amounts, please stack them in neat piles. (If it has to be pulled apart, it will not be collected.)
