Stickers on the bag or the bin, and two free periods
Yard waste is a pay-to-use service, so 30-gallon kraft paper bags under 50 lbs each carry a sticker and the 95-gallon blue city bin carries a bin sticker with its lid closed under 200 lbs. Collection runs weekly on the rubbish day from the first Monday in April until mid-December, set out by 7:30 a.m. and never before 6 p.m. the night before, and no stickers are needed from the first Monday in April to the first Monday in May or from the first Monday in October to the end of the season. Plastic bags are never allowed, and yard waste stays out of the street except for leaves during fall leaf collection.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
