Yard Waste
Your yard waste is collected weekly if you have weekly garbage service or monthly with either a 32 gallon or 60 gallon rollcart. Please refer to your calendar showing the collection schedule. If you need a calendar call us at 1 800 808-5901 or email us at Waste Management Customer Service.
On yard waste day, you can set out one 32-gallon can or one Kraft paper yard waste bag (no plastic bags, please) or one bundle (Prunings are limited to 4" in diameter and 36" in length) of yard trimmings for no extra charge. Any additional cans or bags or bundles are only $2.70 each.
For the safety of our drivers, please have all limbs cut or trimmed so that they do not stick out above the rim of the container.
