- All leaves, grass and garden refuse must be bagged (clear bags only). Loose leaves and clippings will not be picked up. Clear bags are available at City Hall for $2.00 per bag.
- All branches must be tied and bundled in short lengths, not exceeding 6 feet.
- Invasive weeds (i.e., knotweed and policeman’s helmet) are to be bagged separately and in clear bags.
- The City will only pick up a maximum of one cubic yard of refuse (approx. a ½ ton truck full) of those allowable items. Refuse in excess of this amount will be left behind.
- All yard and garden refuse to be picked up should be placed on your property line close to the area where your usual garbage pick-up is made.
- The above described material left in your lane or at your property line will be regarded as pickup materials. We ask that residents do not place any refuse other than items listed above into City lanes or on property lines.
