Garbage Collection

Show All Answers

1. What should I do with my leaves?

You have 4 options:
1- Mulch your leaves with a lawnmower. Decayed leaves provide excellent fertilization for your yard and plant beds.
2- Rake them to the curb, not in the street, during "LOOSE LEAF COLLECTION SEASON", November 1 through March 31. Please be advised that delays for this service are not uncommon due to large volumes of leaves placed at the curb for collection.
3- Bag and place them at the curb (not in the street) for weekly collection on your regular garbage collection day.
4- Place them unbagged in your yard waste cart for collection on your regular garbage collection day.
