Trees and Yard Waste

Tree debris and yard waste are accepted at the rate of $20.00 per ton with a $5.00 minimum charge per load. Recycling Center Staff grind the trees into wood mulch to re-sell to the public. The following guidelines need to be followed when bringing in trees so processing can be done easily and efficiently:

• All logs over 6" but less than 18" in diameter should be cut no longer than 6' in length.

• All logs over 18" diameter must be cut to less than 4' in length.

• All loads must be free from garbage, dirt and other debris.

• Absolutely no metal is allowed to be in the tree loads.

• Any load of tree debris that contains any logs not cut to proper lengths will be prorated to the $50.00 rate.

• Any load of tree debris containing garbage, construction or other debris will be prorated to the $50.00 per ton rate.

• Any load with logs over 18" diameter and over 4' long or over 6" diameter and over 6' long will be prorated to the $50.00 per ton rate.

Mulch

The mulch produced at the Recycling Center is available to residents in two forms. The first is fine ground landscape mulch. This mulch is ground and cured to commercial and residential landscape specifications and is sold for $30.00 per ton. The second mulch is construction lumber mulch and is given to residents at no charge if they load it themselves. Recycling Center Staff will load it for customers at a charge of $5.00 per loader bucket. Delivery within the city limits is available. Call the Recycling Center for more information.
