Residents can hire a lawn service. Waste can be hauled to the 48th Street Transfer Station.
Residents can mulch and compost their grass and leaves.
A series of backyard composting workshops are held each month, and a schedule is available from the Cooperative Extension Service at 441-7180. A free backyard composting bin is given to each participant in the workshop. Yard waste is defined as grass and leaves and includes such material as crab grass and pine needles. If a person does not subscribe to the separate yard waste collection, this material can be placed with their regular household trash. Those who mix grass and leaves with household trash or who put yard waste into plastic bags instead of paper bags or approved waste containers may have the material left at their curbs with a card of explanation.
