Following the regular, bi-weekly recycling schedule, yard waste collection will begin on Tuesday, April 22 (gray recycling week). Yard waste collection will happen on your normal recycling day.
Overall Schedule for 2025
There will be a total of 22 weeks of curbside yard waste collection in 2025, offered seasonally, to assist residents with disposal of leaves and brush, as outlined below. Curbside yard waste collection is provided on a bi-weekly basis, on your regular recycling day. The 2025 schedule has been specifically designed to prioritize collections during the months when yard waste collection is typically at its heaviest (Spring and Fall).
The complete schedule for Yard Waste Collection in 2025 is shown on page 2 of the 2025 Collection Guide (previously mailed to each household) and is denoted in the 12-month calendar shown on pages 6 and 7 of the guide.
