YARD WASTE NEWS: The following is a press release about extended fall hours at the municipal yard waste facility, and curbside bagged leaf collection dates. *** Extended hours begin at the Newburyport Yard Waste Facility beginning Sunday, Sept. 22. The facility will be open from 10 am to 2 pm on Sundays until closing day on the first weekend of December, weather permitting. Regular hours of Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM will remain in effect. Please be reminded that leaves, mulch and garden waste that are separated from shrub trimmings, tree twigs, branches and trunks up to 18" in diameter are accepted. It is helpful for compost material to be separated from wood chip material prior to arriving at the facility. Only wood chip material described above, recycled separately from compost material, is deposited unbagged on the right hand side as you enter the facility. Compost material, either bagged or unbagged, is deposited on the left hand side. We encourage residents to leave grass clippings on lawns but will accept it at the compost pile. No plastic pots, dirt-covered stumps, stones, building wood, or trash are accepted. Residents are required to purchase a seasonal sticker to use the facility. Stickers are sold on site with two proofs of residency or property ownership to residents in their own vehicles. Fees are $20.00 for residents under 65 and $5 for residents 65 and over. Stickers can be purchased at the facility. Curbside bagged leaf collection will take place on regular trash days during the weeks of November 11 and 29 as well as December 9. Residents must place leaves in brown paper leaf bags or in marked barrels. Bags must be curbside by 6.30AM and contain only leaves. Bags containing branches, plants, dirt, rocks or trash will be left behind. For information about bagged leaf collection or The Yard Waste Facility, please contact Molly Ettenborough, Recycling and Energy Coordinator, at 978-499-0413 or via e-mail at mettenborough@cityofnewburyport.
