<br />2 <br /> <br />Bagged leaves and bagged or bundled yard waste pickup is also available on a call-in basis, <br />until Thursday, April 30 through the Division of Environmental Services. Please place bagged or <br />bundled yard waste at the curb, and call the Bureau of Solid Waste at 277-8823 for pickup. <br />The regular, automatic (no call-in necessary) Yard Waste Program will begin on Monday, <br />May 4. Residents are again reminded that all yard waste - leaves, branches, etc. should not contain <br />any animal waste. Animal waste will contaminate the recycling of leaves and yard waste for <br />production of organic mulch. <br />Please follow these guidelines for the Yard Waste Program: <br />Place yard waste at curbside in bags or containers, by 6:00 a.m. on your regular trash <br />? <br /> <br />. Reminder: Call in is required <br />pickup day, and separate it from trash and debris <br />until May 4. <br />Yard waste and brush must be bagged or bundled (no more than 4 feet in length or <br />? <br /> <br />1 foot above edge of container). <br />Please use suitable containers (30 gallon trash container or smaller) - do not place <br />? <br /> <br />yard waste in City automated trash containers or the Borden recycling <br />containers. <br />Do not place yard waste in the alley. <br />? <br /> <br />South Bend’s yard waste is recycled at the City’s Organic Resources Facility, diverting this <br />material from our community’s landfill and providing quality mulch for reuse. City residents can <br />reap the rewards of their efforts by going to Organic Resources to pick up high quality mulch and <br />compost for free if you self-load, or at a minimal sliding scale fee if you request assistance with <br />loading. Organic Resources is located at 4340 Trade Drive, off of Nimtz Parkway just ¼ mile west <br />of Bendix Drive. Organic Resources is open 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM, Monday through Friday. Please <br />call 287-6841 for more information. <br />If you have questions regarding Spring Releaf, please call the Street Department at 235-9244. <br />For more information on the Yard Waste Program, call Environmental Services at 277-8823. <br />- 30 - <br /> <br />
