Yard Waste / Branch Pickup
Yard Waste/Branch Pickups (April 1st through december 17th)
- All yard waste, including branch pickups, are now handled by Waste Management. Yard waste and branches will be picked up on the same day as your regular garbage.
- All yard waste and branches must be placed at the curb by 6 a.m. on collection days, in accordance with regular trash regulations.
- Yard waste must be placed in kraft-paper bags. Waste Management also offers rental/purchase of a 96 Gallon cart. No other containers allowed.
- Keep bags/carts at least four feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles that may prevent Waste Management team members from picking it up.
- Brush and branches must measure less than three inches in diameter.
- Branches must be bundled with string or twine, lengths 4’ or less, branches of 3” diameter or less, bundle total weight of 50 lbs. or less.
- As of June 1, 2019, the chipper service will no longer be available, therefore all branches must meet Waste Management’s guidelines.
- Chipper service is only available during the two Clean Up Weeks per year: once in the Fall and once in the Spring AND for two weeks following a major storm event.
- Residents are responsible for the disposal of any materials that do not conform to Waste Management’s guidelines. Sod and dirt are considered trash, not yard waste, so please dispose of them with your regular garbage.
- Seniors in need of financial assistance for tree removal should apply for funds through the Good Neighbor Fund.
