ACE Solid Waste Service Guidelines
Curbside Collection Guidelines
In select cities, ACE offers a convenient wheeled yard waste cart as part of our seasonal yard waste program. The cart is similar to a standard trash container but features a green lid and clear labeling for yard waste only.
ACE provides automated curbside collection using specialized trucks with mechanical arms that safely lift and empty the cart. You must already have garbage service with ACE to receive yard waste collection.
