City-wide yard waste collection is set to resume on Monday, March 17. Residents are encouraged to start planning their yard clean-up projects in anticipation of the service's return.
The materials eligible for collection include grass clippings, leaves, tree limbs, and brush. For those disposing of limbs and sticks, it is important to bundle them with nonmetallic cords like twine. These bundles must be less than five feet long and weigh under 50 pounds.
Residents opting for unbundled disposal should use their own containers. Acceptable containers include plastic or metal garbage cans ranging from 40 to 45 gallons in size, equipped with two handles and a tight-fitting lid. Wheeled carts that hold either 65 or 95 gallons are also permissible. It is advised to label these cans or carts with “Yard Waste Only” stickers, which can be obtained at City Hall, Public Works, or any GFL location.
The yard waste collection service will continue through Friday, December 12.
