1. Why is yard waste no longer collected with bulk?

Yard waste is less expensive than garbage and bulk to dispose of but needs to be collected separately in order to realize those savings. To fully benefit from the separate weekly yard waste collection, yard waste will no longer be collected with bulk.

2. Are bulk and yard waste collected together?

Yes, bulk and yard waste are collected together once per week on your garbage collection day opposite to your recycling day,  For example, if your garbage collection days are on Monday and Thursday and your recycling collection day is on Monday, then your bulk and yard waste will be collected on Thursday. 

3. Why does my yard waste need to be placed in a clear bag?

This applies only to small size yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, tree/plant trimmings, etc.). These items must be placed in a clear bag. This allows the hauler to ensure that only yard waste is being collected.

5. Do I need to bundle tree branches and palm fronds?
