Yard waste pick-up resumes March 26

Online Staff Report

Yard waste collection that ceases seasonally over the winter months will resume Monday, March 26, and continue until late in the fall. The collection process normally resumes the first week of April; however, due to unusually warm temperatures, Rock River Disposal has worked with the City of Rockford to start te yard waste pick-up effort early.

Be advised that yard waste will only be collected when placed in compostable paper bags or in garbage cans clearly marked with a large “X” visible from the street. Branches and limbs less than 4 inches in diameter bundled with string or twine may be placed for pick-up as long as they don’t exceed four feet in length, three feet in diameter, and 75 pounds by weight.
