Yard waste shall not be set out with regular trash for collection. When funding allows, the DPW offers curbside collection of leaves and grass clippings from October 15 through November 30 in compostable paper bags. Another alternative is to bring yard waste to the transfer station at the designated delivery area. Yard waste must be in compostable paper bags or must be emptied from containers and/or plastic bags by the person making the deliveries to the transfer station.
No plastic bags specified for yard waste are accepted at the curbside or the transfer station. This includes any plastic bag even if it states that it is compostable.
Leaves, grass clippings, and brush are accepted at the transfer station from residential locations within the limits of Greenfield.
Yard waste delivered to the designated location of the transfer station will be free of all nonorganic materials or contaminants, such as litter, refuse, and debris.
Brush, hedge trimmings, and sticks must be delivered to the designated delivery area.
Stumps and logs greater than eight inches in diameter will not be accepted.
Each residential location can bring up to 12 cubic yards of brush per calendar year.
All loads of leaves, grass clippings, or brush shall be covered and secured.
Failure of any individual to meet the requirements of these regulations will result in loss of the privilege of use of the transfer station.
Attendants at the transfer station shall have the authority to inspect any incoming materials for the purpose of ensuring that such materials are free of unacceptable or nonbiodegradable items, and to reject any loads containing such materials.
