The green waste subscription service provides an eco-friendly way to dispose of yard and garden waste. It operates seasonally, starting from the second Monday in March to the second Friday in December. This helps keep yards clean and contributes to the community's sustainability efforts by turning green waste into compost or mulch, enriching the soil, and supporting new plant growth. This cyclical process benefits the environment and residents by ensuring natural waste is put to good use.

We believe in contributing towards keeping the environment clean and sustainable, and we hope you share the same belief. Therefore, we invite you to join us in this eco-friendly initiative by subscribing to a Green Waste can by clicking the Subscribe button below. 

Green Can Request

*Herriman Green can collections are Monday's. All other areas are the same as your regular collection day.

Reasons to Sign Up for Green Waste Collection:

1. Cost-Effective: Green waste processing costs less than general waste disposal, helping reduce your overall waste management costs.
2. Landfill Reduction: By participating, you reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill, contributing to environmental sustainability.
3. Compost Production: The green waste is processed into valuable organic compost that can be reused.
4. Environmental Benefits: Reducing the volume of organic waste in landfills helps lower greenhouse gas emissions caused by decomposing materials.

Important Program Details:

• Every District residence is eligible to participate in the Green Waste Collection Program, a subscription-based service.
• Weekly Collections: Green waste is collected once per week.
• Fees:
  • A one-time $70 start-up fee is charged when you first sign up, which covers the cost of purchasing and delivering the green waste can.
  • The annual subscription fee is $144 for nine collection months (March to November).
  • If you need additional cans, there is an extra charge of $10.50 per can per quarter, along with the $70 start-up fee for each additional can.

This program is funded solely by subscription fees, meaning no tax dollars or other fees are used to support it.

Additionally, a Green Waste can is $48 cheaper per quarter ($192.00 per year) than an additional garbage can, offering savings for those who wish to reduce waste more sustainably.

The service is optional and designed for those who value green waste collection's convenience and environmental benefits.
