Garbage Collection

Environmental Services of Hartland and is paid for one year in
advance on your tax bill.

Please have your refuse out at the curb by 6:00am. If a holiday or snow day falls on a Monday,
Tuesday or Wednesday, pick-up will be on Thursday.
NOTE: Recycling is mandatory by state law.
Remember to rinse out and remove lids before
disposing of containers.
Garbage is collected weekly and includes household refuse, paper, magazines, recyclable
materials and large household items such as furniture and non-freon appliances. Residents shall provide
plastic bags or containers that do not exceed 32 gallons in size or weigh more than 60 lbs.
All appliances and any large furniture items must be scheduled for pickup by calling

Backyard Management of Yard Debris
1. Burning creates air pollution, is a health hazard to people with
asthma and other allergies, creates a fire hazard, and is a
nuisance to neighbors.
2. Urbanization of the county makes the old management practice of
burning obsolete- and its a waste of resources.
3. Compost is a useful soil amendment that improves health and
fertility of soil (ads nutrients to support soil microorganisms,
improves tilth of clay soils in area), saves water by helping soil
hold moisture, and reduces runoff.
4. Mulching leaves in place saves raking, amends the soil.
5. Leaving grass clippings on the lawn adds valuable nitrogen back
into the soil, saving on fertilizer (Clippings from a 1000 sq. ft.
lawn contain 6# nitrogen, 1# potassium).
6. Backyard management of yard debris saves municipal tax dollars for
collection and processing.
7. Use natural areas, ground covers and planting beds under trees
when landscaping so leaves can be left to decompose in these area.
8. Try any or all of the options to see what suits your yard and the
amount of yard debris generated- see website for more information.
