Watertown Residents: Prepare for Yard Waste Collection Starting April 1st, 2024

The Watertown Regional Landfill's yard waste collection service will start on April 1st, 2024. The yard waste truck will follow the regular garbage collection schedule. Residents should put their green 95-gallon yard waste containers out the night before their collection day and take them in after collection.

The yard waste truck won't make special trips for late containers. So, it's important for residents to follow the schedule to make sure their yard waste is picked up. This service is part of the Solid Waste Division of Public Works' plan to manage waste in the region effectively.

Residents shouldn't put branches in the yard waste containers because they don't compost well. Instead, they can take branches to the Landfill or cut them to fit in the regular garbage container, as long as the lid can close. This helps the composting process work better.

For more details about the Landfill, like its location, operating hours, container repair, and rates, residents can check the City’s website at www.watertownsd.us. The Watertown Regional Landfill Staff and the Division of Public Works thank all residents for their cooperation in this initiative.
