Public Works Information

Updated brush & Yard waste collection rules

Beginning in March, Public Works will collect yard waste twice monthly by zone. Like our Leaf Collection schedule, residents in Zone 1 can expect brush collections the 1st and 3rd week of the month, and Residents in Zone 2 can expect brush collections the 2nd and 4th week. Place brush and yard trimmings at the curb on the Saturday or Sunday prior to your collection week. Crews may be on your street as early as Monday of your collection week. If you miss the pick up, we cannot circle back to your property until the next scheduled collection week. Yard Waste Reminders: Grass clippings are now considered solid waste. Residents should bag grass clippings in regular trash bags and place them out for garbage pickup. Grass should not be mixed with other yard waste or placed in brown bags, as it will not be collected. Branches and other yard debris should be placed curbside on your designated collection day.
