Peabody Free Yard Waste Curbside Pickup Begins Next Month

PEABODY, MA — As the massive snow piles finally melt across the North Shore, what's left are some of the leaves that were left over from early winter weather that hit the region late this past fall.

Peabody residents looking to rid their properties of last year's refuse can do so during four free curbside yard waste collection dates starting the week of April 13.

"My office has received several calls from residents looking for help in getting rid of dead leaves and brush," Mayor Ted Bettencourt said. "In response, I have scheduled a series of free curbside yard waste collection days."

During the week of April 13th, on their regular trash pickup day, residents may leave their yard waste curbside in paper bags or barrels.

No yard waste in plastic bags will be accepted.

Residents should note that haulers may pick up regular trash first and return later in the day for yard waste. There is no charge for curbside yard waste collection.

Mayor Bettencourt scheduled three additional curbside yard waste pickup days on the week of April 27, May 11, and June 1.
