The Streets Division of Madison, Wisconsin, is gearing up for the spring yard waste collection, set to commence next week. According to the division, all neighborhoods in the area will have two opportunities for curbside pickup of yard waste this spring.

Yard waste crews will focus on collecting items like weeds, leaves, and grass clippings, but it is important to note that brush piles will not be accepted. The collected yard waste will be transported to a composter for processing.

Residents are advised to set out their yard waste at the street edge or on the terrace, ensuring it is at least four feet away from any obstructions. It is recommended to use compostable paper leaf and lawn bags for yard waste and keep them open for easy inspection by the collection crews.

To facilitate the collection process, it is crucial not to mix yard waste piles with brush piles, as crews will not pick up mixed piles. Additionally, if residents opt to use other types of bags, they must keep them open, as crews may need to access the contents easily.

For those who prefer to drop off their yard waste, the Streets Division's drop-off sites will also accept such materials. Residents are encouraged to check the drop-off site website for operating hours and locations before transporting their yard waste.

More detailed information on yard waste guidelines and regulations can be found on the city's official website, along with additional resources regarding Streets Division services.

Residents are reminded to stay informed about the specific set-out dates for yard waste collection in their respective neighborhoods by visiting the Streets Division’s yard waste website or contacting the local authorities for assistance.
