Yard Waste & Christmas Trees


Leaf and Yard Waste Collection


Leaves and yard waste (including grass clippings) are not collected curbside with the regular trash collection. There is a special collection organized during certain weeks of the year.  Items to be collected should be put out on your regular trash day.  This schedule excludes weekends.

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.

Christmas Tree Collection


Christmas trees can be put at the curb for collection one week out of the year. This holiday season's collection will be January 9 to 13 on your regularly scheduled trash collection day.  Christmas trees wrapped in plastic or containing decorations cannot be collected.

If you have a recycling permit, you can bring your Christmas tree to the landfill without having to wait for curbside collection, decorations or plastic wrap must be removed before disposal at the landfill.
