Yard Waste/Construction DebrisThis is our weekend for yard waste and construction debris set out. Yard waste and construction debris must be separated from each other. From the DPW website: Please remember to always set yard waste, leaves, trash and construction debris between the sidewalk and curb. Yard waste includes brush, small twigs, branches, limbs, and leaves. When setting out your yard waste for pickup, make sure you: Keep yard wasted separate from other trash & construction debris Bag leaves in a paper bag (no plastic bags allowed) Don't put yard waste or yard waste bags in the street Keep your yard waste bag away from fire hydrants, poles, trees, and storm drains (aka catch basins) Make sure that your construction debris is separate from other waste.
Construction debris can be placed in disposable boxes or buckets. Don't put construction debris in a bag. For broken glass or nails, use a box or bucket that you don't expect to get back. We will only collect up to 2 cubic yards of construction debris, which is the size of a standard washer and dryer next to each other. If you have more than 2 cubic yards of construction debris, you will need to take it to one of OCRRA's landfills or the Camillus landfill. Construction debris must be set on the curb by 6 a.m. You can learn more here! https://www.syr.gov/Living/My-Home/Trash-and-Recycling/Yard-Waste-Leaves-Debris And don't forget, you can always drop your yard waste at DPW: City of Syracuse residents (no businesses or contractors) can drop off yard wasted any time of the year at the Department of Public Works self-drop off site, at 1200 Canal St. Ext. during the following hours: Site is closed December through March. No plastic bags or waste other than yard wasted is allowed.
