Bulk and Yard Waste Tips

When the ground thaws out, temperatures start to increase, and you spot the faintest sight of green, that means springtime is upon us and spring cleaning season begins.

Yard Waste
Did you know that yard waste is regularly collected by Republic Services year-round, a service provided by the City of Maryland Heights? Here are some important tips to remember:
  • Tree branches should be no longer than 4 feet and no wider than 6 inches.
  • Multiple branches should be bundled them with twine and set on the curb. Bundled limbs should weigh no more than 35 pounds.
  • All other yard waste should be collected in either bags (paper/biodegradable bags highly recommended) or plastic bins.
  • Bags/bins should be left along the curb to be collected on your designated yard waste day.
  • Yard waste day varies by neighborhood. Not sure when your yard waste day is? Call Republic Services at 636-947-5959.

Bulk Waste
Do you have large items that you’re looking to get rid of this spring? The City of Maryland Heights is hosting another bulk waste collection on Saturday, April 20. Residents may stop by between 8:00 a.m. and noon to dispose items in dumpsters placed in the parking lot of Aquaport. Once dumpsters are full, no additional items will be accepted. No registration is required for this event.
