Special yard waste collection will take place four times per year.  Look for dates in Neighbor-to-Neighbor, on Channel 8 and on the Board of Health portion of tyngsboroughma.gov. 

Leaves and grass clippings must be placed in compostable PAPER LEAF BAGS (available at local stores such as Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Market Basket, True Value Hardware stores, etc.), dry cardboard boxes or trash barrels.  Boxes and barrels will be emptied and left at the curb.  Do NOT place yard waste in plastic bags!

Leaves and grass clippings in plastic bags or wet cardboard boxes will not be collected.

Flower and vegetable garden waste may also be included.  Grass clippings may be included with leaves or may be bagged separately.

Pinecones, pine needles and small twigs that are raked up with leaves may be included. 

Paper leaf bags do not need to be closed at the top, but please do not let them stand in puddles of water.
