Yard Waste Collection  Resumes in April

Yard waste collection runs from April through November (weather permitting) and is collected curbside on your regularly scheduled garbage collection day.

Yard waste must be placed in large yard waste paper bags or containers marked with a yard waste sticker.

Check with your community for specific collection dates and guidelines.
Why Does Proper Paint Disposal Matter?


Disposing of unwanted paints, solvents and thinners down sinks and drains, onto the ground or into the  trash, can overwhelm and damage sewage systems, destroy septic tanks and damage the protective liners  of landfills.

These items can also contaminate surface and groundwater, which we depend on for drinking  water and enjoy for recreation. Follow the paint disposal tips and guidelines described in the Paint Disposal flyer found here to help protect  human health and the environment.
Earth Hour
