Branches can be gathered in bundles no longer than 4 feet long and no more than 50 Lbs, put in yard waste paper bags or in open top waste barrels. Bundles should be tied with a natural fiber string.  You can also obtain a free recycling permit or a landfill permit to bring your yard waste to the landfill year-round.  These can be obtained online or at the Health Department at City Hall 718 Main St.

Christmas Tree Collection



Christmas trees can be put at the curb for collection one week out of the year. This holiday season's collection will be January 10 to 14 on your regularly scheduled trash collection day.  Christmas trees wrapped in plastic or containing decorations cannot be collected.
If you have a recycling permit, you can bring your Christmas tree to the landfill without having to wait for curbside collection, decorations or plastic wrap must be removed before disposal at the landfill.
