Yard Waste & Leaf Pickup
CURBSIDE LEAF COLLECTION ROUTE
On Wednesday, December 5th, DPW crews made their final pass of leaf pick-up for the city. Residents may bag any yard waste and set out on their trash day for the next two weeks. Last day for curbside bagged pick-up for Tuesday's collection is December 11th, and the last day for Friday's collection is December 14th.
YARD WASTE
Yard waste and leaf pickup guidelines change periodically throughout the year. During the yard waste pickup season, residents are encouraged to put yard waste out by 7 AM on the scheduled trash collection day using paper yard waste bags or 35-gallon cans marked "YARD WASTE."
