Your participation in your City's Residential Yard Waste Collection Program is vital to the program's success. Here is a courtesy reminder regarding the details of the program in order to assure that ALL YARD WASTE IS RECYCLED.

What is Yard Waste?
Yard Waste is grass clippings, leaves, and tree trimmings.

Is this program mandatory?
Yes! Everyone needs to participate in order for the City to meet the tough standards established by the State of California.

What Yard Waste cannot be Mulched?
Tree trimmings larger than 6 inches in diameter, palm fronds and Yucca plants cannot be mulched and should be thrown in regular trash.

What will become of my Yard Waste?
It will be recycled into landfill cover, fertilizer or soil conditioner.

How do I recycle Yard Waste?

1. Place your Yard Waste directly into barrel(s). To avoid contamination of Yard Waste, DO NOT PUT YARD WASTE INTO PLASTIC OR PAPER BAGS. Trimmings tied and bundled into no more than 4-foot lengths will be collected if placed next to barrels.
2. Set the Yard Waste barrel(s) next to your regular trash barrels on your regular collection day.

Thank you for your continued participation!
