Yard Waste & Brush

Yard Waste Collection

As of Oct. 1, 2021, the subscription fee for yard waste and the requirement to call in brush pickups will be discontinued. The monthly fees for yard waste ($1/kraft bags; $0.50/yard cart) will be automatically removed from your utility bill.
To be collected, all yard waste must be contained in a kraft paper bag or a City-issued yard waste cart – no plastic bags will be collected. Yard waste carts can be purchased for $20.00. Please call Customer Service at (940) 349-8700 if you would like to purchase a yard waste cart.
Yard waste includes grass clippings, leaves, and weeds that are placed in kraft bags or yard waste carts. Uncooked vegetative waste such as peels, cores, tops, and loose coffee grounds can still be placed in your yard waste cart or kraft bags.
