Spring/Summer Yard Waste Collections & Drop-Offs

Yard waste collections were held in all four IRC recycling communities during the spring and drop-off or collections opportunities continue through the summer. Please remember that:

• Only compostable materials should be set out for collection or be placed in the paper bags.
• Tree stumps and root balls WILL NOT be collected.
• Leaves and grass clippings should be go in the standard 30 gallon kraft paper bag.
• Do not tape the paper bags shut.  Simply fold over the top of the bag.
• No plastic bags will be collected in any of the municipalities and trash collectors may not put them in the trash.
• Logan Township residents may also choose to rake leaves to the curb or roadside, rather than bagging them.
• Logan Township cannot vacuum 100 % grass clippings, please place them in bags.
• Leaf piles should not contain stones or other foreign material.
• Woody trimmings are also part of these spring collections.
• Collection crews cannot collect whole cut trees.
• Be sure to set out manageable piles of brush and branches.  We cannot take branches larger than five inches in diameter.
• Small twigs and other fine material should be bagged.
• Drop-offs are available at the Tyrone and Altoona municipal highway yards and the county yard waste facilities.
