Yard Waste Collection Coming

As the warm weather arrives and you start to think about cleaning up your yard for spring, be sure to remember the requirements for the City of Champaign yard waste collection:

Materials must be in 30-gallon paper yard waste bags. No Plastic Bags. Twigs and branches may be bundled with non-metallic twine or placed in paper yard waste bags. Branches cannot be larger than two inches in diameter and 3 1/2 feet long. Bundles cannot be larger than 18 inches in diameter. Materials must be placed within ten feet of the curb of a public street by 6:00 a.m. to ensure pickup on your scheduled day. On heavier collection days, your pickup may be later than normal or even the next day.

Dates for the Champaign yard waste collection have not been set, but will be posted on the City of Champaign website when they are available.
