Yard Waste Collection Begins April 3

Weekly yard waste collections for the 2017 season begin on Mon., April 3. Yard waste is collected on residents' regular refuse and recycling collection days through Fri., Dec. 8.

There are two options to dispose of yard waste:

1. Purchase and fill a 95-gallon reusable yard waste cart. A cart costs $82.50 plus a $25 annual fee. Fees are assessed annually and appear on residents' water, sewer and sanitation bills. Carts may be purchased online (click the button below), or at the City Collector's office in the Morton Civic Center.
2. Place yard waste in paper yard waste bags and affix each bag with a City of Evanston yard waste sticker. Stickers can be purchased at a variety of Evanston locations.

Residents can also compost and mulch to recycle the earth's nutrients, save money, and conserve vanishing landfill space.
