How to Process Vegetation Waste

Yard waste must be placed within six feet of the curb by 6:30 a.m. on your pickup day. Yard waste must be separated from residential solid waste. All grass clippings, palm fronds, leaves, pine needles, or other similar loose waste, which are bagged or containerized, shall be collected. Otherwise, horticultural waste which is not more than four feet in length and under 50 pounds per container and placed neatly at the curb in containers, plastic bags, tied bundles or safety-handled pieces shall be collected. Single loose palm fronds and limbs less than 50 pounds are to be picked up with horticultural waste. Following the Christmas holiday season, used Christmas trees may also be picked up with horticulture waste. Do not place yard waste on empty lots.
