 Curbside Yard Debris Collection Programs                                           

Are you tossing yard debris in your trash can? If you are, you're paying too much. Cost-effective curbside yard debris collection is now available in all burn ban areas. When you sign up for the service, you can conveniently recycle grass, leaves, yard and garden trimmings, and branches. Yard debris collection costs less than garbage collection. 

You can recycle 90 gallons of yard debris at curbside for less than it costs to dispose of 32 gallons of garbage. Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island customers call Bainbridge Disposal (206-842-4882); all other areas call Waste Management (800-592-9995) to sign up.
