Does the City have a yard waste program?

Yes. Yard waste (except stumps) is picked up on the curb every week between April 1 and October 31. Grass clipping must be bagged in brown paper bags or cardboard boxes. Tree branches and limbs (up to 6 inches in diameter) will be picked up. Tree stumps and tree branches over 6 inches in diameter will not be picked up. In the fall, the City has a leaf collection program. The City places an advertisement in the local paper every fall to provide the leaf pick-up schedule. The City will pick up yard waste during the summer on your regular trash collection day.  For addtional yard waste pick up information, click here.

Between November 1st and March 31, the City does not normally provide yard waste pick-up. For residents that do require special yard waste pick-up during the winter months, the service will be provided for an additional fee. Residents can find more about special pick-ups by clicking here.


Does the City have a household hazardous waste program?

The City sponsors a household hazardous waste program in the spring of each year. The program usually runs the first full week of May for three days. Residents may make an appointment to take their household hazardous waste to the City Garage where the City will dispose of selected household hazardous waste.
