Sanitation Services

• Residents are required to separate yard waste from other refuse, garbage and recyclable materials

• Yard waste must be in single biodegradable paper bags with no bags inside.  Plastic bags cannot be used.  Weight limit of 50 lbs. per bag.  Containers as well as garbage cans with yard waste are no longer accepted.

• Yard waste materials include grass clippings, weeds, leaves, straw, corn stalks, plants, mulch, hedge trimmings, vines and roots.

• Please do not put dog, cat or any other animal waste with yard waste; it can go in the regular trash.

• Please have all yard waste and brush out by 6am, curbside, on your regular trash day.  Do no set yard waste in alleys.

The City of Marysville encourages residents not to bag grass clippings.  Through a regular yard care routine, grass clippings can be left on the lawn, allowing them to work their way back into the soil.

• Brush will not be collected from October 1 through December 31, so that we can provide leaf collection services.

• Brush also must be curbside by 6am on your regular trash day.  Do not set brush in alleys.

• Brush must be free of nails, rocks, garbage, vines, and wire.  Mixed bags will not be picked up by either trash or yard waste crews.

• Brush includes tree and shrub clippings.  No vines.

• Trees and bushes with roots cannot go through the chipper.  Roost must be cut off and will be picked up by other crews.

• No railroad ties, landscaping timbers, lumber, boards, or other debris.

• Railroad ties and treated landscape timbers can no longer be picked up by the regular trash trucks nor by City crews.  These items can be taken to the annual Hazardous Waste Disposal Day (usually in May or June).

• The longer the trimmings are, the easier it is for the City crews to remove them, therefore there is no maximum length.  However, trimmings should be at least 4' in length.  Smaller than this should be bundled.  The maximum diameter is 8".  If small brush is bundled, use string or tape, NO WIRE.

• The amount of trimmings picked up will be limited to one truck load per day per resident billing address.  Trimmings done by contractors will not be picked up.

• Live Christmas trees are collected on your regular trash day when placed at the curb by 6am.  All decorations and bulbs must be removed before the tree is placed at the curb.  Trees should not be wrapped or placed in bags.

This service allows residents to rake or blow their leaves to the edge of the roadway/curb.

• Leaf vacuums will operate from the first week of October through December 31 (weather permitting).

• All leaves must be in paper biodegradable bags from January 1 through September 30.  NOTE:  Leaves must be bagged in trailer parks year round.  Leaf vacuums DO NOT run routes in any of the trailer parks.  Weight limit of 50 lbs. maximum.

• Rake leaves to the edge of the roadway/curb by Monday morning at 6am to ensure pickup each week.

• Do not place leaves in the roadway or pile them around parked cars, fire hydrants, or catch basins.

• Keep children away from leaf piles that are ready for collection.

• Leaf piles mixed with grass trimmings, stones, branches, etc. will not be collected.

After this service has ended for the year, place leaves in paper biodegradable bags for collection as a part of the yard waste collection program.
