Complete Guide for all Special Pickup Services
Collections begin April 1st and end November 30th, no credits or prorates are available for residents that sign up in the middle of the season. All yard waste material must be placed inside generic yard waste bags. Any brush or branches outside of the bag must be cut down to 4 feet in length and bundled no greater than 2 feet in diameter. You will be required to call the office before your service day as there will be an extra charge for each extra bundle or bag. A 95-gallon container is available for customers to rent—please contact the office to learn more. Yard waste in plastic bags will NOT be collected.
Will Call Yard Waste
If you would like to have your yard waste collected occasionally, we provide a "Will Call" yard waste program. If you prefer to do spring and fall clean-ups, and leave clippings the rest of the year, you may find this very cost effective. Simply call in prior to your normal collection day and arrange for payment. Charges are per bag or bundle placed out for collection. Reminder: Only biodegradable paper type yard waste bags may be used.
Leaf Pickup
- Only during month November.
- Place in bag at curb, no sticker needed
Unlimited bulk pickup is included with service. Please stack or bundle construction-type debris in lengths no longer than 4 feet and no larger than 2 feet in diameter.
- A box spring and mattress is considered one large item.
- Carpeting should be in rolls no longer than 4 feet, two feet in diameter, and taped. Five rolls is considered one large item.
- Please ensure that all loose materials are neatly bundled to allow for safe and efficient collection.
Certain items may be too large or heavy for standard collection. If this occurs, the driver will leave the item(s) so special arrangements can be made. Additional charges will apply. Please contact us if you believe the items you have set out fall into this category.
A per‑item collection fee applies. Customers must contact our office to schedule the pickup and arrange payment.
Two rolls of carpet, one–35 gallon container, or the equivalent, is included in your service. Anything in addition will incur an additional fee per yard and must be contained properly. Please contact our office for more details.
If you need additional material collected all at once, an extra charge will apply. Please contact our office to schedule the pickup and arrange payment.
If you would like your additional collection picked-up on a day other than your regular collection day, an additional trip fee will be assessed.

Christmas trees will be collected at no charge for the first two weeks of January.
