Yard Waste & Storm Debris Pickup Guidelines

Provided by Best Trash – Your Residential Waste Service Provider

Best Trash has specific guidelines for the collection of tree branches and yard waste to ensure efficient and safe pickup. Please adhere to the following:

Branch Size and Bundling Requirements:

• Length: Each branch must be no longer than 4 feet.
• Diameter: Branches should not exceed 3 inches in thickness.
• Weight: Each bundled set of branches must weigh less than 40 pounds.
• Bundling: Branches must be securely tied together in bundles. This facilitates quick collection and prevents damage to equipment.

Quantity Limits:

• You may place up to 5 tied bundles of branches at the curb per collection day.

Additional Guidelines:

• Placement: Do not place branches or yard waste inside trash cans. Instead, place them directly at the curb.
• Landscaper Debris: If you hire a landscaper or contractor, they are responsible for removing the yard debris they generate.
• Entire Trees: Best Trash does not collect whole trees. Please arrange for disposal at a landfill or contact Best Trash for special collection services.

Important Notes:

• Ensure that all bundles are clearly tied and separated for easy identification.
• Proper bundling and adherence to size and weight limits help prevent damage to collection equipment and ensure the safety of collection personnel.

Please ensure debris is ready for pickup and piled curbside not blocking any roadways.

At this time, we cannot provide an exact date and time, but we are working hard to ensure timely debris removal. We will be conducting three debris pick-up passes. During each pass, we will collect both vegetative and construction debris. The first pass is estimated to be completed within 30 days, weather and circumstances permitting. Our goal is to complete all passes by mid-October.

** Please note **
If choosing to use bags, we ask that they be clear bags. Any debris placed in black bags will be presumed to be normal household trash and will not be picked up during our collection.
