Yard & Garden Waste
Sanitation picks up yard and garden waste such as leaves, limbs, and cuttings. When putting trash out for pickup, it is important not to mix items together.  Please help us by separating your yard debris from metal, paper, lumber, and other items that are put at the curb.  See the ordinance section below for the preparation of yard and garden wastes.  

Sec. 11-37. - Preparation of yard and garden wastes.
(a)  The amount of yard and garden wastes placed for collection shall not exceed an amount contained within an area four (4) feet wide by twelve (12) feet by six (6) feet high or seven (7) cubic yards.  Piles of yard and garden wastes exceeding four (4) feet in width or exceeding twelve (12) feet shall obligate the owner or occupant to pay such special pickup fee.  In no case shall leaves and grass clippings be placed in the same pile for collection with bulky yard and garden wastes.
(b)  No more than one prescribed amount of bulky yard or garden waste shall be placed for collection.
(c)  In no case shall any yard and garden wastes be placed for collection within ten (10)  feet of any pole connected by wires conducting electricity or guy wires connected to such pole.
(d)  In case of leaves and pine straw, the requirements enumerated in  (a) and (b) of section 11-37 shall not apply.
Mulch is no longer available at the City of Dublin compost site.

Large Tree Removal
We truly empathize with the challenges our community has faced following the hurricane. We recognize the hard work and dedication that homeowners have shown while cleaning up their properties, and we commend your efforts during this difficult time. After the hurricane, the Army Corps helped to remove fallen trees that were piled up at the roadsides. They left in January of 2025.

Since then, the city has been doing everything we can with the equipment we have to assist in the cleanup process. We cannot remove large trees, even if they are cut up and organized at the streetside.

The city is not responsible for removing trees when a homeowner hires a contractor. Both the contractor and the homeowner share the responsibility for tree removal from the property.

We are here for you and are committed to helping keep our city clean with what we can do.
