2024 Free Residential Yard/Curbside Waste Pickup

Keep your yard looking tidy by taking advantage of the town's free yard waste pickup service starting on April 1, 2024. This year's service will be offered through the end of November 2024, weather permitting.

For 2024, the town will be partnering with Twin Bridges Waste and Recycling to make sure yard waste is removed, processed, and recycled in both a timely and professional manner.

Leaves, grass clippings, tree, and shrub trimmings should be left in brown paper yard waste bags. Small tied or bundled brush that measures less than four feet long and three feet in diameter will also be collected.

Bundles must be tied to allow for easy pickup. No yard waste will be collected from garbage cans or other containers.

Items that won't be collected include:

  • Animal waste
  • Garden debris
  • Tree or shrub roots
  • Tree stumps or logs
  • Waste products
  • Household garbage
  • Pressure-treated wood
  • Railroad ties
  • Plastic
  • Metal
  • Building debris
  • Other foreign materials

Twin Bridges will work their way through the town weekly, and residents are asked to have their yard waste ready for pickup by Sunday evening.

Some sections of town may take longer to clear when there is a greater amount of yard waste debris at certain times of the year. Please don't cover your bags with tarps; they must be visible on the curb.
