GRASS CLIPPINGS

Grass Clippings - April 2024

Grass clippings MUST be bagged and placed curbside with your trash. The Department of Public Works does NOT pick up grass clippings regardless of if they are bagged or placed loosely in the street/curbside. 

REMINDER: Please do NOT blow grass clippings in the street as it is a hazard and pollutes the stormwater.

Public Work’s Facility Hours of Operation:
Monday through Friday: 6:30AM – 2:30PM
Saturday: 9:00AM – 1:00PM

Helpful Information

  • Place grass clippings in heavy-duty, lawn bags. ONLY fill bags halfway to alleviate them being too heavy for the trash hauler to pick-up.
  • Do NOT place loose grass clippings at the curb. Grass clippings are NOT collected by Public Works.
  • Do NOT exceed (4) lawn trash bags per weekly trash collection.
  • Do NOT place grass clippings in the blue, recycling cart.
