Yard waste is collected once a week on the same day as your trash collection.  Place yard waste neatly in the right-of-way (sidewalk or curb). Loose yard waste such as grass clippings, leaves, pinecones, straw, and vines must be containerized.  Do not use the city-provided trash cart or wheelbarrows.  The following are additional requirements for yard waste collection:

• Limbs may be no longer than 4 feet and no larger in diameter than 6 inches. 
• All loose yard wastes (grass clippings, pine straw, vines, pinecones and leaves) must be containerized. A container may be a plastic bag, a box or a personal 30 gallon trash can. Do not use the city-provided trash cart or wheelbarrows.
• Yard waste is collected on the same day as regular trash.  Have your items in the right-of-way for collection no later than 7:30am on the day of collection.
• Please do not mix non-organic items (roofing tiles, scrap lumber, rocks, etc) with your yard waste.
