******** Yard Waste Collection Guidelines After the Nor'easter Storm ********

 In addition to collecting yard debris during the week, City Waste Management Collection crews will be collecting yard debris on Saturday, November 21st and Monday, November 23rd, as well as Saturday November 28th and Monday November 30th.  This cleanup process is expected to take 2 to 3 weeks to complete.                            

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 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. 

**********************************************************************

Curbside collection of yard waste is provided on your normal collection day, and does not require a work order.  Tree limbs up to 4 feet long and 6 inches in diameter will be collected in a pile not to exceed 4 x 4 x 4 feet.  One pile, generated from each house, will be collected on each collection day.  You may also dispose of smaller debris, such as grass and leaves (no dirt) in up to 25 clear plastic bags, not more than 25 lbs. per bag.  Please note that tree removal debris is not collected at the curbside. However, it can be collected through the yard debris container program, provided each piece is no larger than 6 inches in diameter.

For larger amounts of yard debris, roll-off containers are available on a first-come, first serve basis. There is a fee for this service:  $40 for weekdays and $75 for weekends. The containers measure 13 x 7 x 5 feet. Tree limbs must be no larger than 6 inches in diameter and must fit totally within the container. If you place bags of yard waste in the trailer, you must use clear plastic bags, but loose leaves and grass are acceptable. You may schedule the container for a day with AM or PM delivery available. However, trailers delivered on Friday will be picked up on Monday. Someone at least 18 years old must sign for the trailer when delivered, but need not be home when it is picked up. Please call 385-4650 well in advance if you wish to schedule a container. This service is not available online.
