Yard Waste
Yard waste collection is collected weekly from households in the Urban Services District, except during the Winter Yard Waste Schedule when it is collected every other week. Use Recycle Coach to view your entire waste collection calendar.
Leave grass clippings and leaf mulch on your lawn!
Learn more about the Love 'em and leave 'em program. Love the beauty of leaves and grass, then leave the clippings where they fall. And consider a home composting system. Composted yard waste and food scraps can be added to your flower beds, potted plants, and gardens!
Do not blow leaves into the street!
