***** NOVEMBER NOR'EASTER YARD DEBRIS CLEANUP *****

In order to facilitate the cleanup process of yard debris following the recent Nor'easter storm, trucks normally used for bulky item pickup will be used for curbside collection of this debris.  Therefore, we will be temporarily unable to accept bulky item collection requests.  The cleanup process is anticipated to take 2 to 3 weeks.  Public notice will be provided once the service can be resumed.  We appreciate your patience during this time.

Residents may place yard debris at curbside for collection by the City as follows:  Tree limbs should be no more than 4 feet long and 6 inches in diameter and placed in piles not to exceed 4 x 4 x 4 feet.  Smaller debris should be bagged in securely-tied clear plastic bags not to exceed 25 lbs. per bag.  A work order is not required for curbside yard waste collection.

Please note that any work done by private contractors must be disposed of by the contractor.

Residents are urged to place yard debris, as well as waste and recycle containers, outside of the drainage flow line (a few inches away from the curb) to keep the drainage flow line clear and avoid neighborhood flooding.
