Town Of Arlington: Yard Waste Collection Begins Week Of April 12

Press release from Town of Arlington:

03/23/2021

Yay, it's spring!

But don't clean up your yard quite yet. Many tiny, helpful, pollinating insects are still dormant and need to hide from predators. Plus the fallen leaves protect your new emerging bulbs.

But if you've already started salivating for the yard trimmings collection, you still have to wait a few weeks. Hang tight, it's coming.

Starting the week of April 12 the Town's contractor, JRM Hauling and Recycling will once again start collecting yard waste. All the past rules are still in effect, and if you've forgotten what they are, check the Zero Waste Guide calendar on Page 5.

Rules in a nutshell:

• Paper bags and barrels marked with the Town's Yard Trimmings bumper are acceptable containers
• No plastics of any kind will ever be acceptable, including plastic twine
• Must be out by 7 AM on the day of collection
• Don't place out before 6 PM the night before- please respect the rules and your neighbors
• Twigs and sticks are fine, branches are not. Please keep to the 1" diameter or smaller. Any thicker than that is not collected. Likewise no logs or stumps.
