The Department of Public Works collects yard waste from residences that already receive trash collection services. Yard waste consists of bagged leaves, grass clippings, weeds, bulbs, twigs, pine cones, and uprooted plants, as well as bundles of branches and limbs tied into four-foot lengths. Residents are restricted to seven bags or bundles per collection.

The Department of Public Works provides municipal services in two distinct program areas: environmental services/solid waste management and parking enforcement.
