Prep It Right! Place Out No Sooner Than Day Prior To Pickup!
Yard Waste CollectionYard WasteYard waste is collected from the curb once a week on your scheduled collection day provided the materials meet preparation requirements. Yard waste is made into mulch and compost for reuse. How To Prepare Yard Waste For Collection:
Note: Residents must use paper yard waste bags or reusable containers weighing no more than 75 pounds when preparing leaves and grass clippings for yard waste collection. Loose debris (i.e. limbs and branches) will be collected. Residents can pick up bags at 1200 Otts Street Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - noon and 1-3:30 p.m. while supplies last. Brush

Prefer to Use Grass Clippings for Mulch?Leaving grass clipping on the lawn after mowing ensures that nutrients will be returned to the soil. Grass clippings are 20-30% protein and usually contain about 4% nitrogen, 2% potassium and 0.5% phosphorus as well as all the necessary trace elements plants need. When leaving clippings on the lawn, adjust your lawn mower to remove no more than one third of the grass leaf surface at any one mowing. Any mower can be used, but one that mulches as it cuts is best. Use a slow-release fertilizer, water when necessary, and mow the grass at the proper height. |
