Residents are encouraged to compost as much of their yard waste as they can. If you do need to use the monthly collection service, you will need to use compostable bags, reusable yard waste bags or any container that can be dumped by our Public Works crew. Compostable bags can be found at most retail stores that carry garbage bags or yard maintenance equipment. Plastic bags that are not compostable will no longer be accepted.
All yard waste must be set out by 7:00 a.m. of the date scheduled for the start of collection, but no earlier than one week prior to the scheduled collection. Failure to do so will result in your items being left until the next scheduled pick-up date.
