This program is a curbside organics collection that runs from April 14th to November 3rd. It allows residents to dispose of yard waste like leaves and grass clippings through weekly pickup.

Starting April 1st, 2025, residents will pay an extra $2.00 per month for this service. They will receive a 95-gallon green cart for yard waste.

Food waste is not included in this program because it needs extra handling and would raise costs. The focus is on yard waste, which makes up most of the organic waste.
