Green Waste and Yard Debris

Plants absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, filter out pollutants, and cool the air.  But excess green waste can take up room in our landfills.    

Green waste containers are for yard waste that can be recycled or composted.  Please note that there are items which can and cannot be placed in your container. 

Items which CAN be placed in your green waste container include:

-    Grass Clippings                 -    Leaves

-    Pruning and Twigs             -    Weeds

-    Palm Fronds                     -    Horse Manure

-    Branches smaller than six inches in diameter
 

Items which CANNOT be placed in your green waste container and should be placed in your black trash container include:
-    Cactus

-    Dog or Cat Waste

-    Branches larger than six inches in diameter

 

PLEASE NOTE:  Rocks, concrete, and dirt can not be placed in any curbside container.  

Excess green waste can be bundled and placed beside your green waste container for pick-up on a seasonal basis.  Tie your prunings into bundles no larger than eighteen inches in diameter and four feet long.  If you generate a large amount of green waste on a regular basis, additional green waste containers are available for a nominal monthly fee.
