The Sanitation Division of Public Works will haul away most larger items that cannot be normally thrown away with regular trash collection.These items can include:

YARD WASTE
Up to one hopper load of yard waste will be picked up at no extra charge as long as the material meets the length and thickness restrictions. This includes grass clippings, tree and shrub cuttings, leaves and the like. No component of such shall be longer than three (3) feet and have a diameter or thickness greater than five (5) inches.

More than one hopper load:
The City will pick up the first hopper load and the remainder will be left with an information tag explaining that the remaining yard waste can be picked up for a charge of $5 per hopper load or portion thereof.

For multi-family dwellings:
ALL PICKUPS for MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS must be CALLED IN FIRST to 727-547-4575 ext. 250. The City will pick up the first hopper load of yard waste without charge.
