Spring 2023 Loose Leaf and Yard Waste Collection Information

The Spring 2023 loose leaf and yard waste collection begins Monday, April 24, and will run for four (4) weeks . However, the last day to leave Yard Waste out for collection is Sunday, May 14, 2023.

The City of Green Bay Department of Public Works will begin its spring curbside collection of loose leaves, garden waste, and grass clippings on Monday, April 24, 2023. This material should be placed out to the curb in separate piles (leaves/grass together and brush/branches together) and should not be co-mingled. Bagged material will not be picked up. 

May 14, 2023 is the deadline for yard waste items to be placed at the cub for final collection. 

Yard waste placed to the curb after May 14 will NOT be collected by the City. 

Residents are responsible for disposing of their own yard waste after the spring collection period, or they will be assessed a fee for collection. Please see Yard Waste Drop-Off Center information below.

Please note that placing yard waste in the road itself is against City ordinance, and residents who do so will be subject to collection fees and/or fines. Similar to past collection periods, Public Works staff will be recording violations.  Residents who work in their yard after May 14 must dispose of their own yard waste. Yard waste left at the curb after the deadline is subject to collection fees. 

Residents are reminded that raking leaves into the street increases pollution of storm water, may cause flooding by blocking drainage structures, and most importantly, piles of leaves in the street are a dangerous attraction to young children. 

Please refrain from piling yard waste next to trees, poles, mailboxes, or other obstructions as this slows down collection crews and may cause damage to equipment or the obstruction. 

It is not possible to accurately tell residents the exact day their yard waste will be picked up, but once collection begins, you may contact:

The Department of Public Works appreciates your patience while we proceed through the routes for collection. We will attempt at least one round in every neighborhood per week.
