Yard Waste Collections
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.
