New customers are required to pay the $90.00 yard waste service fee, plus a $50.00 barrel deposit fee (per new barrel). Renewals: You qualify as a renewing customer if there is already a yard waste barrel at your property (even if from a previous owner).

Acceptable yard waste consists of grass clippings, leaves, woodchips, and small twigs no thicker than 1 inch and no longer than 12 inches. All yard waste must be placed in the provided yard waste container in such a manner that the material will freely exit the container when it is inverted. No dirt, sod, rubbish, rocks, sand, or other foreign materials are allowed. Barrels weighing in excess of 300 lbs. will not be emptied. No bagged yard waste or yard waste in regular rubbish barrels will be collected as part of your service.
