YARD WASTE MUST BE PROPERLY PREPARED: NOTICE - Improperly prepared curbside trash and yard waste will not be collected as part of the regular service.

The charges for the collection of improperly prepared trash and yard waste are: $40.00 for a small pile (wheelbarrow size load), and $80.00 for a medium pile (pickup truck size load), and $120.00 for a large pile (small dump truck size load).
