Green Waste Street Pile Program

The Green Waste Street Pile ProgramYard Trimmings is designed to keep residential yard waste and plant material out of the streets and storm drains to reduce pollution of our waterways, keep our streets clean, and keep our gutters clear to prevent flooding during the rainy season.

During Leaf Drop Season, which runs from November - January, green waste street piles are collected weekly. During the rest of the year, street piles are collected once per month from each address and are allowed for only one week before each pickup date. 

Note: Green Waste Street Pile collections are for single-family residents only. Businesses and multifamily properties are not allowed to place piles in the street.

Collection Schedule

Starting July 1, 2025, Green Waste Street Pile Services will be provided citywide during the same week each month. Weekly street sweeping will continue as usual.

  • Shall not contain branches more than 6 inches in diameter or 5 feet long.
