Yard Waste Collection Program April 1-November 30th

Hainesville residents will receive weekly collection of an unlimited amount of properly prepared landscape waste on the same day as refuse and recycling collection. Landscape waste should be placed by each resident at the street side in front of the property by 6:30 a.m. on Friday.

Landscape waste should be placed in biodegradable “Kraft” type bags not to exceed 33 gallons in size or 50 pounds in weight. Metal or plastic cans not exceeding 33 gallons in size or 50 pounds in weight will also be collected.

If the landscape waste cannot reasonably be placed in bags or cans, it must be securely tied with biodegradable string or twine in bundles not to exceed 4 feet in length, 24 inches in diameter, and 50 pounds in weight.

Christmas trees for all residential customers will be collected each year at no additional charge on your collection day between January 2nd and the last regular collection date in January.

The program includes collection of one bulk item per week (not appliances or oversized/overweight items) at no additional cost. Additional items will be collected for an additional fee.

Bulk items include: boxes, crates, furniture, and similar items that do not fit into a proper container and can be collected/lifted by one driver without assistance. Exceptions include items which are banned from direct disposal into a landfill. (appliances, tires, car batteries, TV’s, electronic waste).

Oversized and overweight items are any single large or extra heavy item that requires Groot to schedule a special pick-up. An example of an oversized item is a piano, hot tub, or any item that requires two or more people to lift. There will be an additional fee per item. Please contact our office at 847-693-2700 for pricing and additional information.
