 Yard
Waste Collection Services
Yard waste consists of excess leaves, grass, tree
and shrubbery trimmings, and other organic material removed in general
maintenance of property by the homeowner. Yard waste does not consist
of construction debris, demolition debris, dirt, rock, brick, block,
sod, water, pavement, or any other material that could be defined
as household waste or is not compost material.
Yard waste must be placed on the curb by 7:00 a.m.
of the specified pick-up day. Do not place yard debris on the sidewalk.
Yard waste should only be placed on the curb of
the house that generated the yard waste. Please leave space between
carts of 3 feet.
Waste generated by private
landscaping contractors will not be collected.
Grass clippings must be placed in the yard waste
roll-out. Grass clippings will not be collected in bags. Residents
who consistently generate more than one container of grass clippings
per week may add another cart for a monthly fee payable to Waste
Management.
Other yard waste may be used to "top off"
roll-out.
Plastic bags are not allowed in the yard waste roll-out.
In addition to the yard waste roll-out, manageable piles of limbs
or brush will be collected. Tree limbs will be collected ONLY IF
they meet the following specifications: Not larger than 6"
in diameter, not larger than 5' in length, stacked in piles that
do not exceed 4' H x 5' L x 4' W.
During heavy leaf generating months (November 1
- January 15) Waste Management will make every effort to collect
bagged leaves up to a maximum of 20. Bags must be clear or transparent
and no larger than 25 gallon. From January 15 through October 31st, WM will collect up to 10 bags. Bags must be clear and transparent and no larger than 25 gallon.
During the holidays, the contractor will collect
Christmas trees, garlands, and wreaths. These items must be stripped
of all wires, lights, ornaments, etc.
