                   Curbside Yard Waste Collection Policy

Questions? ­ Contact the Department of Public Works 724-4100. 
               For large volume or trees that have been cut or have fallen down, contact the 
                Department of Public Works. 
               Do not rake leaves into the street, gutter or alleys, because it clogs storm drainage, 
                makes a huge mess when plows go through and just pushes the waste somewhere 
                else. 
               Please do not set out the garbage until the night before pick up.
