      Curbside Green Organics

      Tan yard waste container in front of a house.

      This program provides a tan container for your yard waste, such as grass clippings, twigs, branches and shrubs. This program is perfect for households that have weekly landscaping maintenance and/or large properties. The additional monthly fee for the Green Organics Collection program will be $5 a month per tan container requested.

      Green Organics Guidelines: 

      • To ensure timely collection, containers must be placed curbside before 5:30 a.m. the day of pick up.  ​
      • All containers must be 4 feet apart.
      • City code requires residents to have lids on solid waste containers secured to prevent rain, insects and blowing of garbage or recyclable materials throughout your neighborhood.​​
