Garbage and yard waste will be collected on the same day. You can put out a maximum of three cubic yards of yard waste (vegetative material) to be collected each week. This is about the size of three ovens or washing machines. Smaller materials (leaves, sticks, grass clippings) must be in containers, plastic bags, or paper yard trash bags weighing no more than 50 pounds. You can buy the paper bags at any home improvement or Amazon. You can use your previous garbage cans to containerize smaller material to be picked up. Larger items (tree branches, logs) must be no longer than four feet in length, four inches in diameter and weigh no more than 50 pounds. Crews will tag yard waste that is above the three cubic yards, and will leave the pile at the curb.
