What are Yard Waste and Brush?

  1. Yard waste: is defined as leaves and non-woody organic garden waste (i.e., grass clippings, plant waste, and light trimmings too small to bundle). No sod, dirt, sand, gravel, or rocks are permitted.
  2. Brush: wood waste from bushes and trees, including sticks, twigs, branches, and shrubs. No stumps or logs are permitted. 

 

Preparing your Yard Waste and Brush for Curbside Pickup:

 

Yard waste: use paper leaf bags or reusable containers marked "yard waste." Bags and containers cannot exceed 40 pounds and 35 gallons.

Brush: pieces cannot exceed 4 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length. Bundle and tie with string or twine (no wire), or place in a reusable container marked "yard waste." 

  • Any yard waste or brush in a plastic bag will not be collected. 
  • Any material not conforming to these guidelines will be left at the curb, and the resident must dispose of it.
