General Yard
Debris Collection
|
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Year
Round, York County residents have the opportunity to schedule a special yard
debris collection for items such as limbs, branches, and bags of natural
yard waste.
-
EFFECTIVE
FEBRUARY 1, 2005, acceptable material size for residential yard debris
placed at the curb resumed to 8” diameter and 10’ feet in length.
Please note that VPPSA will continue to accept residential and commercial
yard debris deliveries containing material up to a 24” diameter and 10’
length.
-
All
residents may schedule a yard debris collection (approx. 15 cubic yards)
at a rate of $25 for the first load. Each additional load collected within
30 days after the first collection will be an additional $250 per load.
-
ALL
LANDSCAPE CONTRACTORS working under contract who bring yard waste to
VPPSA’s Composting Facility will be charged a tipping fee of $38 per ton
(prorated). Landscape contractors living in York County wishing to deliver
materials collected from their personal residences must contact the York
County Waste Management Center at 890-3780 at least one week in advance to
allow staff to inspect the material to be delivered while still on the
grounds of the residence. This is required to ensure that the materials
being brought to the composting facility are in fact residential and not
commercial in nature.
-
Loose yard
debris such as grass, leaves and straw must be placed in clear bags.
-
Stumps,
construction debris, and other materials CANNOT be collected.
-
Materials
must be at the front roadside by 7:00 a.m. on the Monday of your scheduled
collection week to ensure pick-up before the end of the week.
