Announcement
Mayor Scott Schertzer is announcing that curbside pick up for yard waste will begin on Monday, April 5th, as long as it is separated from regular garbage and placed in trash cans, small boxes or clearly marked biodegradable paper bags. As observed over the past several years, the City will not pick up grass clippings at the curbside. Branches must be bundled and cut in lengths no longer than 5 feet. Curbside pick up for yard waste will occur on the day following each resident’s regular trash collection day (example: Wednesday trash pick-up - Thursday yard waste pick up). The frequency of curbside collection for the yard waste program may be modified in the future.
Beginning Monday, April 5th, city residents will also be able to drop off grass and yard waste materials free of charge to the City’s drop off site, 960 W. Center St. (City of Marion Streets Department on north side of Center St.). Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 3:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
Requirements for depositing grass and yard waste are:
1. Proof of City residency (Photo identification with address).
2. Residents using plastic bags will need to deposit loose grass in dumpsters and discard or retain the empty bags. Paper biodegradable bags are available at some local retail stores.
The Mayor cautions residents that the primary purpose of this site is for grass clippings. However, other yard waste such as leaves, twigs, flowers, branches, and brush will be accepted. Large amounts of brush must be taken to Park Enterprise Construction Co., Inc. located at 560 Barks Rd. W. (Please note the change in location from previous years). For additional information on Park Enterprise hours of operation and acceptance program, please call 223-7275.
