Compost Pick up Begins April 4th
Published on Mar 23, 2022 13:00

Compost/yard waste collection will begin on Monday, April 4th in the City of Plymouth.

If you have already placed it out to the curb for collection, we ask that you kindly remove and place back out during your regularly scheduled collection the week of April 4th.

Compost must be placed in a brown Kraft lawn refuse bag or a can marked for compost.  Compost can may be marked with an “X” or identified with a “compost” sticker available at the Municipal Services office, located at 1231 Goldsmith. Compost includes grass clippings, leaves, branches, and yard debris.  Compost does not include sod, dirt, rocks, dog excrement, or potted plants. 

To ensure pickup, place compost bags and/or cans designated for compost as close to the curb or roadside as possible.  Place the bags and/or cans so that they have three feet of clearance from parked cars, mailboxes, other carts, and other street hazards or amenities. Ensure the lid can close – overfilled carts may be too heavy or may lose contents when serviced.
