Here we go for 2019. Beginning May 6 and continuing through December 6, the City of Boston will be picking up Leaf and Yard Waste. If you have two recycling days per week, collection is on the FIRST recycling day of the week. Collection is every other week, and leaf and yard waste left curbside on alternate weeks will not be collected. If you want to compost, you may buy backyard compost bins and kitchen scrap buckets at Boston Building Resources, 100 Terrace Street in Mission Hill, but remember, if you are in an area with a high rat density, composting may not be a good option.
Use large paper bags or open barrels labeled “yard waste” but do not use plastic bags. Tie branches (3 foot maximum length, 1 inch maximum width) with string. Do not put branches in barrels. And please, no dirt!
