Do you have yardwaste?
We take leaves, branches, grass, fruits & vegetables from your yard and other trimmings.  As a NRWS customer, you can use your brown yardwaste cart. Place it curbside on your regular garbage service day. For larger loads, contact us and order a yardwaste debris box. To drop off yardwaste, go to our facility of Hwy 29 at 820 Levitin Way.  (The gate fee is $36/ton.) Call 255-5200 for additional service information.

What happens to your yardwaste?
The yardwaste collected is produced into high quality soil amendments – organic compost and topsoil.  These products are then used to enrich the soil of farms, vineyards, yards, and gardens...closing the loop locally and sustainably.  Click here for more information.
