Residential Trash, Recycling & Yard Waste Service

Curb Side Yard Waste Service – Republic Services provides curbside yard waste collection services April 1 to December 31. Paper yard waste bags or a container marked “yard waste” may be used.

Spring and Fall Yard Waste Services – Drop off dates are announced for spring services in March and September for fall services. The drop off site is located on Harbor Island in the boat launch overflow lot at the north end of the island. These services are only for residents of the City of Grand Haven who are Republic Services Customers. No staff will be present to assist in your drop-off. However, the site is under video surveillance. Any dumping other than qualifying yard waste is strictly prohibited.

Important things to remember: Plastic bags and containers used to transport yard waste may not be left at the drop-offsite, 2-ply paper bags are acceptable and may be deposited directly into the collection vehicle. Brush must be tied in bundles not more than 4 feet in length. No individual branch more than 2-1/2 inches in diameter. Please separate brush from other yard waste materials. Republic Services will only accept biological decomposing materials, including leaves, grass clippings, vegetable or other garden debris, shrubbery, brush or tree trimmings. Unaccepted items include: stumps, agricultural waste, animal waste, roots, base of shrubs, sewage sludge, building materials or garbage. Please use biodegradable twine for bundling limbs less than four feet in length and/or biodegradable bags. Additionally, please be sure to load the container evenly; do not pile all yard waste to one end of the container.
