New Yard Waste Service Policy:

 

Our trucks use onboard computers to collect scheduled yard waste stops. If you subscribe to the weekly yard waste collection, our truck will collect yard waste from your address weekly.

 

No subscription customers:

 

If you do not subscribe to weekly yard waste collection services, but you are a Maroney customer, you can still have yard waste collected in paper compostable bags. However, you must call or email at least one day prior to your trash collection day so we can schedule pickup.

 

In the past, if your trash collector saw paper bags out, they would call over the address to the office and it was scheduled to the yard waste route that day. This works sometimes, if the yard waste truck has not left the area. It is not cost effective for our yard waste truck to search entire routes looking for paper yard waste bags.

 

If you do not schedule pickup prior to your trash pickup day, you may be asked to wait until the following week to get your bags collected.

Non-subscription Yard Waste Collection: (currently we charge $3 per bag for yard waste)

 

If you do not subscribe to the weekly collection of yard waste, and you want Maroney’s to pick up your paper yard waste bags, you should call or email at least 1 day prior to your collection day. This will ensure collection on your pickup day. If you do not give advance notice, you may be asked to wait until your next scheduled pickup day.

 

Maroney’s uses on-board computers to assist drivers on collection routes. These tablet computers display all stops a driver must collect each day. Stops appear as pins on a map for the driver. If you are not subscribed to the weekly yard waste collection, your address does not show up for the yard waste collection truck. We do our best to collect yard waste even if you have not called/emailed in advance. Your trash driver will attempt to schedule the yard waste collection if he sees paper bags out when he arrives to collect your trash. Many times, this system works. If the garbage truck driver can notify the yard waste truck before they leave the area. The yard waste truck covers many routes in a single day. They cannot drive down every street searching for unscheduled stops. This would be far too costly.

 

We are currently discussing a change in policy. This would require advanced notice from customers who occasionally put bags out. We realize this may not be what customers are used to. However, advanced notice allows us to collect yard waste in the most efficient manner.

 

If you want to ensure your yard waste bags are collected, please email or call us at least 1 day prior to your normal pickup day.

 

Thank you,

 

Maroney’s


2025 Yard Waste Season


The 2025-yard waste season started on 3/31/2025.

Weekly yard waste collection will end on November 21st, 2025


Collection rates will remain the same as last year!
Yard Waste Service:
We offer subscription service that includes weekly use of a 90 gallon cart and up to 10 additional PAPER yard waste bags collected weekly.  Call our office for details.


Yard waste service is for weekly collection of items you collect while maintaining your lawn such as: grass clippings, leaves, small twigs, small amounts of dirt, and plant debris.  Yard waste carts should not exceed 120 pounds.  Please do not fill your cart completely with dirt as this will exceed the weight limit.

 

Yard waste service does not include brush, logs, branches, or trees, or rocks.


You can also choose to pay as you go, by simply placing PAPER compostable bags at your curb on trash pickup day.  There is an extra charge of $3 per bag.  We cannot accept compost in plastic bags of any kind (even if they say compostable).

****Note: Yard waste bags should be loaded 40 pounds or less.  If you elect to use the paper compostable bags, we must manually lift these bags into our trucks.  Please do not overload the bags.  Bags exceeding the 40 pound limit will be left, and you must unload them into additional bags to make them less than 40 pounds each.
