Customers of Advanced COLLECTION WEEKS: Disposal may also take advantage of the 5 scheduled May 6th – May 10th weeks of curbside leaf collection. ALL leaf waste October 28th – November 1st MUST be placed in clear/transparent bags during the scheduled leaf collection weeks on your normal pickup November 11th – November 15th day. Bags must be placed separate from trash and November 18th – November 22nd recycling containers and CANNOT contain GRASS and December 2nd – December 6th branches! Leaves CANNOT be placed in the recycle toters as this contaminates our curbside recycling program. A third truck from Advanced Disposal will pick up the leaf bags on your regularly scheduled collection day. BRANCHES: Residents may take branches to the Millfair Compost Center for FREE. Customers of Advanced Disposal may also place branches curbside during Brush Collection Week (September 9th – September 13th). Branches MUST be cut into 4ft. sections and bundled for curbside pickup. Branches CANNOT be placed in the recycle toters as this contaminates the curbside recycling program. GRASS: Grass MUST be bagged and placed curbside for weekly trash collection. An alternative to bagging grass would be to use a mulching lawn mower. Grass may also be composted in a backyard composting bin if chemicals are not used on the lawn. Mix grass with leaves and aerate regularly. For more information on proper composting techniques, please visit the Millcreek Government Channel on Youtube (Search: Backyard Composting 101). If your trash, recycling, or leaf waste is not collected, please call Advanced Disposal at 1.844.415.5970 to report a missed collection. 14 MILLCREEK
