City of Wilmington Residents,

Homewood Disposal will collect yard waste materials (i.e. tree branches, leaves, grass clippings and brush) until December 3, 2021. Yard waste is collected by Homewood Disposal once per week on the same day as the refuse collection. All yard waste items placed out for collection by residents must be at the curb by 6:00 a.m.  

Yard waste materials can be placed in kraft paper bags, which can be purchased at local retail stores. 96-gallon yard waste carts are available for rent from Homewood Disposal by contacting the Customer Service Center at 1-815-932-1115. 

Branches and brush must be cut into 4-foot lengths and bundled with string or twine. Each bundle must not exceed 50 lbs. Unbundled brush will not be collected. Whole trees and limbs greater than 4 inches in diameter and stumps are not included in the weekly pickup. Please note that sod, whole trees, stumps and dirt are not part of the weekly yard waste program.  

This program resumes April 1, 2022.
