Yard Waste 2001

You should have received your 2001 Yard Waste Collection Schedule by now, which was distributed in your recycling bin. The change in yard waste collections from weekly to biweekly will go into effect on Tuesday, October 9th and continue through mid-December. If you did not receive the yard waste collection schedule in your bin, you can pick one up at any of the locations that sell the yard waste bags or at the Public Works Department on Sandy Lane. You may also click here to view the schedule online.

When obtaining a yard waste schedule, please make certain that you take the schedule that pertains to your regular garbage collection day.

Remember: Grass clippings, leaves and garden debris (No sand, dirt or rocks please!) must be placed in biodegradable 30 gallon paper bags, or in barrels marked with an official "YARD DEBRIS ONLY" sticker. The stickers are available at the Public Works Department. Brush must be bundled and tied in four-foot lengths and set along side of your bags or barrels (a separate truck collects the brush).

The Recycler is published quarterly by the Warwick Department of Public Works. Please direct inquiries to:

The Recycler

Yard waste must be placed at curbside prior to 7 am on your regular collection day. If you miss your regular pick-up, you can bring your yard waste to the Norman D. Flamand Municipal Recycling 

Facility located behind the Mickey Stevens Sports Complex off Sandy Lane, Monday through Saturday 7 am - 3 pm.

If you have any questions, call the Public Works Department at 738-2000x6518.
