Yard Waste Collection Resumes In Cranston April 6

CRANSTON, RI — Spring has arrived in Rhode Island, leading many Cranston residents to take advantage of the warm weather and start clearing out winter debris from their yards. If you've already begun filling up yard waste bags, don't place them at the curb for pickup just yet.

Yard waste collection resumes for the season the week of April 6 in Cranston. Residents are asked to place their yard waste at the curb with their trash and recycling bins on their regular pickup day.

Waste must be placed in large paper bags or a corrugated cardboard box or trash barrel clearly marked "yard waste." Plastic bags will not be accepted. Branches must be bundled and no longer than 4 feet long.
