The City of Washington collects yard waste monthly as a service to residents. All leaves/limbs must be placed at the curb or at your normal trash collection point by 5 a.m. of the scheduled curbside collection day or set out the night before.
Tree trimmings must be no more than 6″ in diameter and 4′ in length, and in an amount not to exceed one 4’ long x 2’ high x 2’ wide bundle. Bundles must be bound with rope or twine. No plastic or wire ties acceptable.
Leaves must be put in biodegradable “paper bags” or in containers that can be picked up and dumped by one person. Bags can be purchased at local hardware stores.
No grass clippings will be picked up curbside. Grass clippings can be deposited at the Recycle Center.
