The City will collect bagged yard waste and bundled brush on the same day as residents’ regular garbage pickup the week of November 27. 

Crews will collect grass, leaves, and garden debris in paper biodegradable bags or reusable containers up to 35 gallons in size. Bags or containers must each weigh less than 50 pounds. Starting this year, the City will no longer accept yard waste in plastic bags.

Brush should be in bundles no larger than four feet in length, no more than 12 inches in diameter, and no heavier than 50 pounds. Size limits are necessary so collected material can fit into collection trucks. Place the bags and bundles at the curb, a few feet from your trash cart, by 7 a.m. on the morning of your scheduled collection day. 

Other Yard Waste Disposal Options:

• Use leaves as mulch or add to home compost.
• Home compost or deposit at the City compost site (Janesville residents only).
• Deliver stumps, brush, branches, roots, and shrubs to the Demolition Landfill for $5.50 per cubic yard (Janesville residents) or $7 per cubic yard (non-residents).
