Sanitation Committee
Next Yard Waste is Monday February 2nd.
Yard Waste will be every first Monday in 2026:
Yard Waste will continue as a single monthly collection until the spring.
There are 6 additional collections in the months of:
Spring Clean: April-May-June
Fall Haul: September-October-November.
These additional collections will be on the 3rd Monday of those months.
Christmas trees are easily recycled into mulch. Keeping trees out of our trash stream allows for the most environmentally appropriate disposal and also saves on tipping fees. Thus, instead of paying more to dispose of them through the trash, it costs less to recycle them on yard waste days. We appreciate your patience and understanding in holding onto trees until 2/2.
Please ensure no wires, tinsel, or ornaments remain on the trees.
