Yard Waste Collection

Yard waste collection has begun! The two pick-up dates for our neighborhood are April 20th and May 11th.

Be Sure To Follow the Yard Waste Collection Rules

• Keep your yard waste piles at least four feet away from obstructions.

• Never place yard waste piles directly in the street. This causes damage to our lakes, and it can clog storm drains.

  
  

Bagging or Covering Leaves?

• If you cover your leaves, please choose compostable paper leaf bags and keep them open at the top so crews can see what is inside the bag.

• If you choose plastic bags instead, keep them open at the top, too.  Keep in mind that crews will need to empty or tear open your plastic bags to collect your leaves, and they will leave the plastic bags behind.

• You can also cover your yard waste pile with a tarp to help keep it from blowing into the street.

Wait for Your Pickup

• The dates listed above are when you set out the yard waste.

• These are not the dates when crews will pick it up.

• Collection crews come by during the work week following your set out date.

• If you put your yard waste out after the set the out date, you may miss your collection chance.
