Homewood Disposal Service will begin collecting yard waste materials (i.e. tree branches, leaves, grass clippings, and brush) on April 7, 2023. Yard waste is collected by Homewood Disposal Service 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, or in your own 32-gallon container labeled “yard waste” so the driver can see it. Wheeled 96-gallon yard waste carts are also available to rent from Homewood Disposal.  

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 runs until December 1, 2023.
