Grasscycling

Leaving grass clippings on your lawn fertilizes the grass and reduces the amount of trash that must be collected and disposed of.

Get grasscycling guidelines for your lawn.

Brush Pickup

Unbundled brush (clippings and tree trimmings) is collected and recycled into wood mulch.

Learn how to prepare for your brush pickup.

Composting

Composting reduces the amount of organic kitchen, garden or yard waste being disposed of, and it helps create a rich soil amendment that you can use in your garden.
