Miscellaneous Waste Disposal Information

Charlie Smyth and others very kindly contributed this info.

Yard waste

The city only provides leaf collection in the Spring and Fall. Christmas trees in January. Brush needs to be taken to the Landscape Recycling site on East University (entrance at the east end of the park) or through a hauler.

Recycling

Electronics such as TVs and appliances need to be recycled. There are e-waste recycling events on a regular basis.

General information about Recycling is on the city website.
