Yard Waste Program

Capitol Waste Services, Inc. provides Waltham residents with curbside yard waste collection every other week according to recycling bin color.   The 2010 season begins on April 12th and ends on December 17th. See Waltham Recycling Calendar.

 

  • Rake together your leaves and grass, then place into large paper yard waste bags or barrels clearly marked YARD WASTE.
     

  • Twigs and branches (less than 2 inches in diameter and 3 feet long) should be bundled and tied.
     

  • Please don't include any stumps, logs, rocks or stones.

 
Christmas Trees
For the three weeks following Christmas, you can place your tree outside on collection day to be picked up at curbside.   In the event of multiple snow storms tree collection may be extended.
