About Our Yard Waste Program:<\/h2>\n

2026 Yard Waste & Brush routes will run from March 16 through December 11.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yard waste toters are collected on a weekly basis, the same day as your trash pickup. This program is intended for the disposal of common green yard wastes such as grass clippings, weeds, leaves, and flowers.<\/p>\n

After being collected, your yard waste is transformed into compost at the Bartholomew County Yard Waste site. This nutrient-rich compost can be used to enhance your garden or landscaping. Residents have the option to pick up compost at the Bartholomew County Recycling Center, where it is self-serve or available for loading at a fee.<\/a><\/p>\n

We suggest City residents cut their grass high and let the clippings remain on their lawns. This method known as “grasscycling” acts as a free fertilizer, as well as a weed inhibitor.<\/p>\n
