Yard Waste Collection Schedule Change for 2025

The City of Neenah is implementing a new yard waste and brush collection schedule in 2025. The changes are being made to address work tasks that have suffered from lack of time for a concerted focus on such areas as asphalt street patching, mastic road repairs, inspecting/repairing catch basins, cleaning catch basins, tree trimming, retention pond maintenance, roundabout landscaping, sealing concrete, jetting storm sewer, and weeding concrete islands. The new schedule will still be based on the area of the city that residents live in but will take place on Mondays of the even months of the year starting in April and then continuing in June, August, and October. Collection guidelines can be found in the Public Works Services Guide on page 8, or on the Public Works webpage under Yard Waste & Brush.

What Time Does Yard Waste and Brush Need To Be Curbside

All yard waste and brush must be placed curbside by 6:30 AM the day of collection. Yard waste/brush should not be placed more than 24 hours ahead of the scheduled day of collection or the property owner may be billed a minimum of $105 special collection fee.

What Should The Yard Waste Be Placed In

All yard waste must be in 35-gallon garbage cans with handles, bushel baskets, or smaller containers that weigh less than 50 pounds.

Can I Use Plastic Bags

Do not use plastic bags or cardboard boxes for yard waste. You may use the biodegradable paper bags.

How Should Larger Tree Limbs and Brush be Handled

Small amounts of brush, 2" in diameter by 4' long should be bundled and tied with heavy cord or twine (no wire) or placed in 30-gallon biodegradable bags, or placed loosely in cans.

Large branches up to 3" in diameter, should be kept long and placed adjacent to the street with the cut ends facing the same direction as traffic flow would be for your side of the street.

Does the City Collect Yard Waste/Brush on Vacant Parcels

The city does not collect yard waste or brush at vacant lots.

My Yard Waste was not collected on scheduled day

Yard waste and brush collection can take two to three days to complete. City crews start with collection of bags, bins and other containers containing yard waste. Depending on the volume this may take a whole day or more to complete. Please be patient, it will get picked up.

My Brush was not collected on scheduled day

Residents who have loose brush may not see it collected on the scheduled day. This is because collection of bagged and binned yard waste can take a whole day or more to complete. Crews will note the homes that have loose brush and return the next day to collect it.
