Paper Yard Waste Bags are to be used for grass clippings, leaves, and twigs. (Do not use ANY plastic bags or black trash bags for yard waste). Yard waste will not be collected if they are in any type of plastic bag. Residents may use their own container so long as it is clearly marked as “Yard Waste” in letters that are at least four inches tall. - Yard waste bag limit: 10 bags per home per collection day.
- Tree stumps and tree limbs that are larger than 6 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length will not be collected. Unbundled brush will be considered a special pick up. Please call or e-mail Republic Services’ Customer Service Center.
