About Yard Waste Collection Services
There is a total of 22 weeks of curbside yard waste collection in 2024, offered seasonally, to assist residents with disposal of leaves and brush, as outlined below. Curbside yard waste collection is provided on a bi-weekly basis (unless otherwise noted) on your regular recycling day, determined by your Street. The 2024 schedule has been specifically designed to prioritize collections during the months when yard waste collection is typically at its heaviest (Spring and Fall).
