OYSTER BAY TOWN, NY — The Town of Oyster Bay announced that it will resume collection of yard wast starting next week. Yard waste will be picked up on the same day as recyclables. "With the spring season upon us, many residents will begin clearing their properties from leaves and other debris left behind by winter," said Councilman Tom Hand. "Yard waste collection, which includes lawn clippings, will get underway the last full week in March and run throughout the year." Residents should place yard waste curbside on their same day as their recycling items. Yard waste is collected by town sanitation crews and taken to compost facilities. Waste includes grass clippings, weeds, leaves, tree trimmings, hedge and shrub clippings and other garden/yard waste. Materials should be placed in bags at the curb, and should weigh no more than 50 pounds. No household garbage, refuse or animal waste should be disposed with yard waste.
