WASTE REQUIREMENTS

  • Limbs must be less than 8" in diameter and less than 5' in length, neatly stacked. Small limbs, branches and twigs must be placed in a container (bags, boxes or cans). No stumps or root-balls will be picked up.  The city reserves the right to exclude from pick-up brush piles which are extraordinary in size or volume or brush piles from contractor removals.
  • Grass clippings and leaves can be bagged, boxed, canned, or neatly piled curbside for the leaf vac.   Be sure to separate out limbs and twigs.  To avoid any confusion between a trash can and a lawn waste can - Please clearly mark the container or use clear or paper lawn/leaf bags. 
  • Containers will be emptied by the City's crew onto the truck and returned curbside to be re-used or properly disposed of by the resident.
  • Materials for pick-up must be placed behind the curb – not in the street.
  • No building materials, machined lumber, root-balls, stones, trash, garbage, litter, or fecal material will be accepted or removed.

Violations will be cited in accordance with the city's blight ordinance.
