Compost/yard waste collection began Monday, April 4 in the City of Plymouth.
Officials reminded residents that all 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 Plymouth 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, residents should place compost bags and/or cans designated for compost as close to the curb or roadside as possible, officials cautioned. The bags should be placed with 3-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, city officials reminded residents.
