Yard Waste Collection

bags and cart

Metro Waste Authority turns your lawn and garden debris into Grow Gold compost, a natural soil conditioner that you can purchase on-site!

Collection Options

Yard waste is accepted at Metro Park East Landfill year-round. If it’s brought in Compost It! bags or with appropriate stickers, it is free of charge year-round. Otherwise, there is a disposal fee.

Residents have options for disposal through the Compost It! program. Through the Compost It! program, residents can conveniently dispose of yard and garden waste at the curb. 

Bags & Stickers 

Compost It! branded bags or stickers are required for curbside collection of yard waste.

Consider alternatives to your waste, perhaps by composting. Find more details about how to get started at Today's Homeowner Media.

Cart Service 

If you set out several Compost It! bags each week, you might find a Compost It! cart a better option. The 96-gallon cart can hold the equivalent of three-yard waste bags. Don’t worry; the bag and sticker program can also be used if you have more than your cart will hold.
