Premium Yard Waste Service
How Does It Work?
Residents can purchase one season's use of a special 95-gallon or 64-gallon wheeled card for collecting yard waste. Only approved yard waste can be placed in the carts. The wheeled carts will be picked up weekly on your regular trash and recycling collection day, the same day that Compost It! bags and stickers are currently collected.
Annual Compost It! sticker will come attached to each cart when they are delivered to subscribers. The sticker is good for the 2009 yard waste season, March 30th to December 4th.
Yard waste that does not fit in the carts must be placed in Compost It! bags for collection.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of the program is $100 per year to cover collection and disposal. Cart rental is included in this amount.
Participants new to the program will also pay a one-time fee of $25 for delivery of the cart and account setup. Existing customers are not required to pay the $25 setup fee.
When Can I Sign Up?
Residents can sign up now for the program. Carts will be delivered to subscribing residents prior to the start of the yard waste season.
