Yard Waste FAQs

Yard waste is collected by the city at the curb along with trash and recycling items. Residents must place leaves, grass, twigs, plants, and small brush in 30-gallon biodegradable paper bags.  Bags are picked up with regular trash collection.

When can I rake leaves into the street?

In the spring and fall, the city offers a leaf rake-out program. Rake the leaves to the curb the weekend before your collection week.  The schedule can be found here.
