Timberwood Park Landscape Services

Contact Your Local Timberwood Park Public Works or Solid Waste Department for Green Waste Info

Proper green waste management is essential for maintaining healthy lawns and protecting Timberwood Park’s environment. Residents benefit from year-round curbside brush and yard trimmings collection, typically scheduled monthly. Accepted materials include grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and shrub trimmings, which must be bundled with natural twine or placed in paper bags—plastic bags are prohibited to prevent contamination. For larger loads, residents may use designated brush drop-off sites, open on select weekends, requiring proof of residency. Commercial landscapers must use approved disposal facilities and may be subject to fees. Free mulch and compost are often available for residents through local reuse programs. It is strictly prohibited to blow or dump grass clippings, leaves, or soil into streets, drainage ditches, or storm drains, as this can harm local creeks and violate the Clean Water Act.
