Bulk / Yard Waste Guidelines

• Bulk and yard waste items must be placed immediately behind the curb, or within the swale area if there is no curb, by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day.
• Per City Code, DO NOT place your bulk/yard waste items out more than three days before your scheduled collection day.
• Yard waste must be placed in clear plastic bags (e.g. grass clippings, leaves, and shrub and tree trimmings), or loose at the curb (e.g. tree limbs and palm fronds). No personal containers are allowed.
