YARD WASTE
Yard waste pickups continue on your regular refuse/recycling collection day beginning April 1 through November 27, 2008. To ensure compliance with state laws, yard waste must be collected separately from the rest of the household waste.
Residents are required to use any of these options for disposal of yard waste:
- Place yard waste in paper yard waste bags, such as 30 gallon Kraft Paper Lawn Waste Bags, available in packages at local stores. Plastic bags will not be collected.
- Compost and mulch to recycle the earth's nutrients, save money, and conserve vanishing landfill space. For further information call the Ecology Center at 847.864.5181
- Fill City of Evanston 90-gallon Yard Waste Carts, available for purchase at $81.56 each. These reusable carts do not require the use of bags. To order a Yard Waste Cart, download and complete the form and return it to the City Collector, City of Evanston, 2100 Ridge Ave., Evanston, IL 60201. All orders must be accompanied by a check, payable to “City of Evanston” for the full amount of purchase. Carts have a limited five year warranty. Warranty does not cover theft, abuse or negligence.
Due to the issues with the Emerald Ash Borer, the yard waste drop-off location has been discontinued in 2007.
Remember, it is against the law to rake leaves into the street. For information about the yard waste program, call Streets and Sanitation at 847.866.2940
