Yard Waste Program

Residents are encouraged not to put yard waste in with the trash, but to use this system that will deposit clippings (including grass), branches, brush, etc., into an organic waste site rather than into a landfill.

• Leave at the curb
• Place yard debris directly in trash cans or large brown paper yard waste bags sold at hardware and grocery stores
• Branches and sticks must be no more than four feet long and should be bundled together and tied with string
• No plastic bags, please
• No dirt or stones
• Program runs March-December
• Yard waste must be out to your curb by 7 am on the scheduled pickup date
• Pick-ups occur on Wednesdays on the dates listed below
• In the Fall, do not place leaves in with yard waste – utilize the borough’s curb-side Leaf Collection program
