DANVILLE — The Solid Waste Division of the Danville Public Works Department announces that the new Yard Waste Collection Program will begin March 22 with the Spring Cleanup Collection Period.
The Yard Waste Collection Program has three specific time periods:
-- Spring Cleanup: (weekly pickup) Begins March 22 and lasts until May 1.
-- Toter Collection: (bi-weekly pickup) May 1 to Oct. 31.
-- Fall Cleanup: (weekly pickup) Nov. 1 to mid-December.
During the Spring Cleanup Period, yard waste will be collected weekly and on the same day as regular household service. It should be placed at the curb or street edge no later than 6 a.m. on your collection day and no earlier than 4 p.m. the night prior to collection. Yard waste should not be placed along or in any alley.
All yard waste collected within the city must be placed in an approved two-ply paper yard waste bag, or city-approved toter with a 2010 yard waste sticker attached.
No other container is acceptable. The city will sell its yard waste bags only while supplies last. (Five bags for $3 at the municipal building and available at various retail stores, pricing set by stores).
No tape or adhesive is permitted on yard waste bags and yard waste contained in plastic bags or cardboard boxes will not be collected.
Yard waste stickers are $20 and are sold at the Robert E. Jones Municipal Building, 17 W. Main St. Stickers are good for one calendar year.
Any questions may be directed to the City of Danville Public Works Department, 431-2288 or 431-2382.
