Defining "Yard Waste" and What Crews Will Collect

Yard waste is small plant debris that can be composted.

Think of "yard waste" as leaves, weeds, grass clippings, and so on. It's the kind of plant material you rake or pull from your lawns or gardens.

Crews will be collecting yard waste and hauling it to a local composter.

Yard waste crews will not collect brush piles .

Brush collection (which is tree limbs, branches, and so on) and yard waste collection are not the same thing.

Brush is a separate pickup with a different schedule.

Yard Waste Collection Rules

Place the leaves and yard waste at the street edge or on the terrace on the set out date.

Do not place yard waste into the street.

Keep the material at least four feet from obstructions where possible. Obstructions like street signs, utility poles, mailboxes, trees, and parked cars interfere with collection.

If you choose to bag your yard waste, please choose compostable paper leaf and lawn bags. Keep them open so crews can see what is inside.

If you choose to use other bags, that is acceptable. You will also need to keep them open. Keep in mind crews may need to rip or slice open plastic bags to get your yard waste out. They will need to leave the split bags behind at the curb.

Do not mix yard waste piles and brush piles together. Crews will not collect mixed up piles. Brush is a separate collection.

Drop-off Sites

The Streets Division drop-off sites will also accept yard waste.

Drop-off sites hours will expand on April 11, 2026.

Check the drop-off site website to learn their hours and locations before loading your vehicle.
