The Newell Recycling compost yard will be open May Long weekend 2020.
Normal weekly yard waste collection will be starting Monday, May 4, 2020.
To view the pick-up schedule and map, please visit the Collection Date Maps page.
Residents can drop off leaves, grass clippings and small branches. Food scraps are not accepted because they attract unwanted pests and create contamination in the finished compost. Additional processing must occur with the addition of materials beyond yard waste and this is currently not in effect.
Currently, single dwelling houses and duplexes have individual yard waste bins for leaves, grass clippings, and small branch 1/4 inch in diameter. Please do not put branches greater than 1/4 inch in diameter in your yard waste bin as they can cause damage to the equipment at Newell Recycling.Yard waste should be placed directly into the compost bin without bagging.
The City of Brooks offers a $25 rebate for any resident that purchases a backyard composter from a local retailer. Bring your receipt to City Hall and receive a credit on your utility account.
