How it works
Sort the load before choosing a disposal option. Leaves and grass, woody branches, soil and mixed rubbish can be handled differently even when they all come from the same garden cleanup. The Village collects garden waste twice a year on dates advertised annually.
Steps
- Check the accepted materials in Facility Operating Hours. Make a list of what you have, including the approximate size of branches and whether the material is bagged. Check the accepted materials for the cart, collection event or drop-off site you plan to use.
- Read the preparation instructions before tying bundles or loading a vehicle. Confirm site hours and any charge for your kind of load before making a trip.
