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.
