Buffalo Grove Residents Reminded of Landscape Waste Pick-Up Schedules

Spring is here, and that means many residents are working in their yards and creating landscape waste. Buffalo Grove residents are reminded that landscape waste is picked up on the normal recycling pick-up day, and that service will continue through December 15, 2017.

Landscape Waste Container Requirements are as follows:

Landscape waste should be contained in 32-gallon special yard waste paper bags. Also acceptable are 32-gallon rigid, unlined waste containers marked with a large "X" (which is at least 12 inches in diameter so it can be seen from the truck).

Acceptable Items Include:

• Grass clippings
• Leaves
• Vegetative plants
• Brush and small trees (brush and tree limbs up to 3.5-inches in diameter must be bundled in 4-foot lengths, tied with string or cloth, and not exceed 70 pounds in weight.)

Non-Acceptable Items:

• Indoor Plants
• Flower arrangements
• Trees larger than 3.5 inches in diameter
• Dirt or stones
• Sod
• Pine cones
