Yard Waste/Brush Collection

YARD WASTE COLLECTION

In order to reduce the amount of compostable material directed to landfill, St. Clair Township provides yard waste collection (directed to the compost site) in the spring and fallĀ  (see calendar for dates). During this collection period, paper bags or containers clearly marked with a large X must be used. Plastic bags of any type are unacceptable and will not be collected.

During time periods outside of spring and fall yard waste collection dates (see dates below), yard waste will be collected with the regular waste collection, subject to the 6 item limit. During this period of time, yard waste will be directed to landfill, not the compost site. Yard waste can continue to be placed in marked containers or compostable bags but it is not necessary as at this time as yard waste will be directed to landfill. We encourage you to mulch as much as possible.

 

Please see our 2024 Recycling & Waste CalendarĀ (May) for information on Yard Waste Collection
