The last yard waste pickup for 2021 is an unlimited yard waste collection week from December 6–10. After filling your City-issued yard waste cart, residents receiving curbside waste collection can put out unlimited paper bags or containers containing only yard waste on your regular day of collection.
During the unlimited yard waste collection period, please:
- Place yard waste at your usual collection point by 7:00 a.m. on your regular garbage day.
- Additional yard waste must be placed in kraft paper bags or reusable containers marked as “yard waste”. Please do not use small buckets or containers.
- Bundle branches using string or twine, and ensure the prunings are no more than three feet in length, three inches in diameter and 50 pounds in weight.
- If your additional yard waste is not collected, please leave it at your collection point as a second truck may be required to pick it up.
- Please leave a minimum of 3ft/1m of space between carts and additional yard waste.
- Yard waste contained in plastic bags will not be accepted.
This is the final yard waste collection week for 2021. Yard waste pickup will resume on the week of February 28 to March 4, 2022.
