Yard Waste Hauling Services

Yard waste must be placed in a Yard Waste cart provided by Dick’s Sanitation or in compostable bags or paper bags.
 
Beginning Jan 1, 2010 a new state law requires residents who bag their yard waste to use compostable or paper bags. Compostable bags include paper Kraft bags (large brown paper bags) or compostable "plastic" bags. Compostable plastic bags are usually clear or tinted an opaque shade of green, white or pink; however the color is not the sure way of determining the compost ability of a plastic bag.
 
Compostable plastic bags should clearly state that they meet ASTM D6400 standards for composting and that they are "compostable". Bags marked "biodegradable" or "degradable" do not meet the state law. Most home improvement and hardware stores now stock there types of yard waste bags.
 
Yard waste service is available as scheduled weekly service or as on call pickup service.
