Yard Trim Collection

1. Yard trim is collected once a week between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. Pickup time may vary. Items must be placed out after 6 p.m. the day before collection or before 6 a.m. the day of collection.
2. Single-family homeowners must set items to be collected within five (5) feet of the nearest public road fronting their home. Place material away from mailboxes on the opposite side of the driveway, if possible.
3. Residents of townhome communities without garages are required to "group" items in designated areas accessible to the collectors such as the curb end of grass islands or at the end of parking areas. Do not block mailboxes or fire hydrants.
4. Yard trim will not be collected as trash during yard trim collection season (April through mid-January) in areas that receive curbside yard trim collections.
5. Tie brush and branches using string or twine. Bundles may not exceed 4' in length, 18" in diameter.
6. Cans, containers, paper bags and bundles must weigh less than 40 pounds.
7. Yard trim in plastic bags will not be collected.
8. After your items are collected, we recommend removing empty yard trim containers from your curb (or grouping area) on your scheduled collection day to mitigate safety and aesthetic concerns.
9. The clean-up of yard trim, especially in grouping areas, that is spilled and/or spread by animals or wind is the responsibility of the residents.
