The City will collect bagged yard waste and bundled brush on the same day as your regular garbage pickup the week of May 4 – 8. Grass, leaves, and garden debris will be collected in paper biodegradable bags or reusable containers up to 35 gallons in size. Bags or containers must each weigh less than 50 pounds. Brush should be in bundles that are no larger than four feet in length, no more than 12 inches in diameter, and no heavier than 50 pounds. Size limits are necessary so bundles can fit into collection trucks. Please place the bags and/or bundles at the curb, a few feet from your trash cart, by 7:00 AM on the morning of your scheduled collection day.
Other yard waste disposal options include:
-
Use as mulch or leave grass clippings on lawn
-
Home compost or deposit at the City compost site (Janesville residents only)
-
Deliver stumps, brush, branches, roots, and shrubs to demolition landfill for a fee of $5.50/cubic yard (Janesville residents) or $7.00/cubic yard (non-residents)
Please contact the City Services Center at 755-3110 or visit www.janesvillewi.gov/yardwaste for additional information.
