 For collection, leaves and grass should be put in yard waste paper bags. No plastic bags will be accepted and will be left at the curb. Branches can be gathered in bundles no longer than 4 feet long and no more than 50 Lbs, put in yard waste paper bags or in open-top waste barrels. Bundles should be tied with a natural fiber string. You can also obtain a free recycling permit or a landfill permit to bring your yard waste to the landfill year-round. These can be obtained online or at the Health Department at City Hall 718 Main St.
