Curbside Green Waste Collection 

We provide residents of the unincorporated County with every-other week green waste collection service.  This service is provided as part of effort to continue to meet State mandates to reduce landfill waste by 50%.

Containers:

Residents have a choice of a 30, 60 and 90-gallon green waste container. Residents can receive one additional green waste container for no additional charge. Additional green waste containers (more than two) per residence can be obtained for a fee of $2 per container per month.

Container Set-out:

Please place containers on the street side as shown so they do not block pedestrian sidewalk use. Keep a minimum of six (6) feet away from cars, boats and other stationary objects to avoid risk of private property damage. Note that green waste and mixed recycling are collected on alternating week.

If your container is full before your regular collection day, you can call Customer Service and request an unscheduled service for an additional charge.
