Yard Waste Procedures

Automated Yard Waste Procedures

Yard waste is collected once each week during the yard waste program (March-November). Please place your green yard waste cart at the curb the night before your collection day on the same side that you place your trash & recycling carts. Carts should be placed at least one foot (1') apart and three feet (3') away from obstructions such as utility poles, mailboxes, and cars. Do not place yard waste carts out more than one day in advance, and retrieve them on the same day as collection.

All yard waste material must be contained in the green yard waste cart and the lid must close. There should be no contents that protrude from the closed lid and the cart should not be overstuffed/overpacked.

    • The following will not be taken: Dirt, sod, rocks, tree stumps, stump grindings, bamboo, logs, root balls, wood chips, or branches exceeding 6" in diameter. Please hire a private contractor for these materials.
