Yard Waste
Compost It!

2013 yard waste season runs April 1st – November 30th.

The Compost It! program recycles accepted yard waste. Yard waste can be placed at the curb for pick-up on your regular collection day during yard waste season. This program includes two types of services: a Standard Service and a Premium Service .

Standard Service:
Yard waste is accepted in MWA Compost It! Brand bags or generic bags and bundles with a Compost It! Sticker.  Brush and other trimmings should be bundled with a length less than 4 feet and a diameter of less than 18 inches. 

Visit www.whereitshouldgo.com for more information on the Compost It! Program and locations to purchase Compost It! Stickers and bags.

Premium Service:

The premium service allows residents to use a convenient, wheeled container to dispose of yard waste at the curb.  The carts are emptied weekly on regular collection day during yard waste season.  New customers pay a $25 enrollment fee and purchase an annual program sticker to attach to the container. This sticker price covers the cost of the hauler picking up the yard waste for the annual Compost It! season.  2013 sticker fee is $105.

To enroll in the Premium Yard Waste Program, mail or drop off the 2013 Enrollment Form with your payment to City Hall.

Residents currently enrolled in the Premium Yard Waste Program may renew on-line with MWA or mail or drop off the 2013 Renewal Form with payment to City Hall.
