Yard Waste Collection
Yard waste must be placed in compostable, brown paper bags or individually-owned containers that are clearly marked "yard waste." Tree limbs and limb piles may continue to be placed loosely at the curb for collection.
Where residents can purchase yard waste bags:
Brown/paper lawn bags can be purchased at local discount, hardware and home improvement stores (such as Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc.), and many online retailers.
Use of Personal Containers:
If interested, the purchase and use of a container is at the expense of the resident: it must follow current guidelines of 44 gallons or less, with 2 handles, and clearly marked for Yard Waste. Containers will be returned to the curb after collection. If the City damages or accidentally takes an individual cart, the request will go through the Risk Management claim process. City will be responsible for damages, replacement, or reimbursement if determined at fault.
Additional Guidelines:
- No limits on the number of brown paper bags/containers set out for disposal
- No impact on weekly limb collection or seasonal Loose Leaf collection.
- Green, plastic biodegradable bags are NOT accepted by our Yard Waste processor.
