Yard Waste Pickup

The city divides yard waste pickup into two groups, A-week and B-week, and alternates pickup weeks. To find out which zone you're in, click the map here and follow these instructions:

1. Zoom in on the map by pressing "Ctrl" and "+". Keep zooming in until you can read the street names (You can zoom out by using "Ctrl" and "-").

2. Press "Ctrl" and "F". A search box should pop up in the right hand corner. Start typing in your street name.

3. Once you've located your street, see if you are in a Shaded or Un-shaded area/zone. If your street is in a Shaded area, you are an A WEEK resident. If your street is in an un-shaded area, you are a B WEEK resident.

Once you've determined your zone, take a look at the calendar for your scheduled week. Shaded weeks are A-Weeks and un-shaded are B-Weeks.
