Yard waste runs on the scheduled trash day during the seasonal weeks the town highlights, in biodegradable bags or marked barrels within weight and count limits.
City cost & eligibility
The town publishes the yard waste service as part of the collection contract and prints no separate rate, so call the Department of Public Works on 401-822-9226 and confirm the current schedule and any charge for a load beyond the published limits before setting yard waste out.
When & how
Yard waste pickup begins the week of April 20, 2026 on the resident's scheduled trash day and continues weekly through May, and the town collects it during the weeks highlighted in green on its calendar, so the current week is confirmed against that schedule.
Get it ready
Put yard waste in biodegradable bags or in barrels weighing no more than 35 pounds, clearly mark a barrel for yard waste, keep the load to a maximum of 15 bags per pickup, tie and bundle small bushes and branches in three foot sections, keep stones, gravel, sand and processed mulch out of the containers, and keep yard debris off the curb on any day other than the scheduled pickup day.
