Effective May 1, 2023, the City’s solid waste contractor, Republic Services, will begin summer yard waste collection service. Republic has announced that yard waste will be collected on each residents regular trash collection day.
Republic will use a separate yard waste truck for collection, so residents must continue to keep yard waste separate from trash/recyclables. In addition, limbs, branches and brush must be tied in manageable bundles with rope of twine (no wire permitted) in lengths not to exceed four feet.
Yard waste must be placed at the curb in biodegradable Kraft Bags which can be purchased at many local retail outlets or in 30 gallon (or smaller) trash receptacles weighing no more than 60 pounds each. Residents on the low volume bag service will need to continue to purchase yard waste stickers. Additional yard waste guidelines can be found online.
