Lewiston’s residential woody yard debris pickup week begins April 27

LEWISTON — The city’s Spring Clean-up Assistance Week will take place April 27 through May 1. During that week, the Department of Public Works will collect woody yard debris (butt ends are to face the street) from residential properties.
Quantities are limited to three yards (one standard pickup truck load) per residence. Residents must have all woody yard debris placed curbside no later than Sunday, April 26.
The crews follow the same curbside trash and recyclable collection schedule. So for example, if your trash and recyclables are picked up on Monday, a crew will be collecting your respective brush on that day.
Once Public Works staff has cleared a street of curbside woody yard debris, they shall not return to that street to collect additional woody yard debris.
Curbside collection is restricted to woody yard debris only. Wood/tree waste that will not be collected includes tree stumps (regardless of size), tree limbs greater than 12 inches diameter, demolition wood (fencing, decking or wood from construction or demolition projects).
Those who need to dispose of other household waste items should visit www.lewistonmaine.gov/204/Solid-Waste-Division for information.
