There's no need to call to schedule yard waste pickups of 2 hoppers or less, these amounts will be picked up curbside on Wednesday. Please follow the tips presented below and remember, it is a violation of the City's ordinance for landscaping companies to leave yard waste within the City. Lawn companies must take all debris with them. Please do not put yard waste in the grey trash can or blue recycling can.

Yard waste Wednesdays. The City only collects yard debris on Wednesdays. Once weekly collection saves fuel and disposal costs, reduces wear and tear on sanitation vehicles, lowers the City's carbon footprint, decreases the frequency of residential truck noise and makes for a more efficient collection route. Two hopper loads will be picked up on Wednesday, free of charge. A hopper load is a pile less than 4 feet wide, 3 feet high and 6 feet long. This is equivalent to 14 leaf bags or 14 32 gallon cans or 2.75 cubic yards. If you would like more than 2 hopper loads picked up, please contact the Public Works Department before Wednesday to schedule the pickup. The fee is $5 per additional hopper load. Place all yard waste by the curb before 7am on Wednesdays. Make sure that branches are cut to 3 feet or less in length and are 5 inches thick or less. Do not allow landscaping companies to leave yard debris within the City. This is against the City's code. Keep leaves, grass clippings, and branches out of the street and storm drains. Bag or place in cans all small, loose pieces and grass clippings.

Unscheduled Excess Waste
When items are left in the right-of-way for pick up that have not been previously arranged for, an attempt will be made to notify the resident that collections must arranged and paid for. Should these items be discovered again on the next scheduled pickup date, where collection arrangements have not been made, the City will remove the items and bill the property owner or tenant per the City's ordinance and a notification will be sent to the Code Enforcement Officer for further action, if necessary.
