Residents have the option to enroll in the Yard Waste Collection Program, offering convenient yard waste pickup by the City for $100 per season.  This fee will be conveniently billed to the property owner's City utility bill.

Residents not requiring a seasonal subscription can dispose of yard waste at the Millennium Waste Landfill. 

Collection Schedule

Yard waste and brush will be collected one day per week through the season which runs Monday, April 3, 2023 through Thursday, December 7, 2023.    

To determine your yard waste collection day please refer to the Yard Waste Collection Map (when in the map just enter the address).  

The Holiday Collection Schedule will indicate if yard waste collection will be delayed due to a holiday.

Signing Up for the Program

Residents may subscribe to or cancel the Yard Waste Collection Program at anytime. Subscription fees and/or cart fees will not be prorated. Once your application is processed you will receive a letter with the dates of the program and your pickup day.

To cancel the Yard Waste Collection Program, please fill out a Voluntary Service Cancellation and return it to the Finance Department at 1528 3rd Avenue.

There will be a $25 service charge if a customer reapplies for the Yard Waste Program within 12 months of cancellation. 

Collection Requirements

Residents who subscribe to the Yard Waste Collection Program must place yard waste in either yard waste bags or a yard waste cart that customers may rent from the City at an additional cost of $50 per season.

Please follow these guidelines when setting out your yard waste cart for collection:

• Leave a gap of at least three feet between carts.
• Place cart one foot from the curb or alley and at least three feet from any obstacle such as a parked vehicle, utility pole, or mailbox.
• Place cart with the wheels and handle towards your home.
• Cart lids must be closed.
• Yard Waste that could damage the cart, yard waste truck, or that is prohibited for disposal in the landfill must not be placed in yard waste carts. These materials include:
  • Soil
  • Landscaping pavers
  • Rock, concrete, and asphalt
  • Non-Compostable items (flower pots)
  • Hazardous waste (such as paint, cleaning supplies, pesticides)

Carts must not be placed at the designated collection point earlier than 8:00 pm the day prior to collection, and they must be returned to the storage area no later than 12:00 noon the day after collection.

Yard waste employees reserve the right to reject any carts that could potentially damage the truck or do not meet compliance standards.
