1. I put my leaves in big plastic bags, which were not collected. Why?

Leaves in plastic bags will not be collected. All yard waste is transported to a composting facility and plastic bags cannot be collected as they contaminate the load. 

Rake or blow loose leaves to the curb for April and November pick-up (weather permitting). 

You may also place leaves in paper Kraft bags, which are collected weekly from the tree lawn from May through October.

2. I removed large bushes in my yard. Will the City collect them?

Brush, tree, and hedge trimmings must be cut and tied into bundles no larger than four feet in length and two feet in diameter. 

Large piles of loose brush will only be collected by special request and will be subject to a fee. Please fill out the Bulk/Loose Brush Pick-up Request Form to make arrangements for collection.

3. When are loose leaves collected?

Loose leaves that are raked or blown to the tree lawn will be collected in April and November (weather permitting). 

From May through October leaves must be placed in paper Kraft bags and placed on the tree lawn for pick-up on your regular refuse /recycling collection day.

4. Where can I purchase paper Kraft bags?

Kraft bags can be purchased from home improvement stores.
