Properly preparing your yard waste helps reduce stormwater pollution and keeps our community safer – especially during the summer storm season. Please avoid creating large piles of yard waste.

For faster curbside collection:

Bundle it: Bundles must be under 50 lbs., no longer than 4 ft., with branches no larger than 3 inches in diameter.
Contain it: Use personal containers that are 40 gallons or smaller and weigh less than 50 lbs. when full.

Yard waste in containers is collected once a week on your scheduled bulk collection day. (Look up your collection day on our interactive map.)

Reminder: Private contractors and landscapers are required by City code to remove all debris they generate.
