Composting
Updated April 10, 2026
Bi-weekly leaf and yard trimming collection resumes on your regularly scheduled garbage and leaf and yard collection week and day, beginning the week of April 13.
Enter your address in the Waste Wise app or website to see your collection weeks and full collection calendar.
Waste services that have not yet resumed:
- Furniture, appliance and electronic collection and pick-up requests are unavailable until further notice.
- Requests for new or additional Green Carts are unavailable until further notice.
You can reduce your waste by up to 30% by composting. Use your compost to nourish your lawn and plants, eliminate the need for fertilizer and reduce watering needs.
You can get started by collecting your food scraps in a kitchen collector, participating in the City’s Green Cart Program, and buying a backyard composter.
