The City will collect bagged yard waste and bundled brush on the same day as your regular garbage pickup November 30 – December 4, 2015.  Please place the bags and/or bundles at the curb, a few feet from your trash cart, by 7 a.m. on the morning of your scheduled collection day.  

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 be left untied and weigh less than 50 pounds each. Brush should be in bundles that are no larger than 4 feet in length, no more than 12 inches in diameter, and no heavier than 50 pounds. Limbs larger than 2” in diameter will not be collected.  Size limits are necessary so bundles can fit into collection trucks.

Weather and volumes of yard waste affect how quickly yard waste is collected. Separate trucks collect trash, yard waste and recyclables.

Other Yard Waste Disposal Options to Consider:

• 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
• $5.50/cubic yard (Janesville residents) or $7.00/cubic yard (non-residents).
