Included in the MDC monthly service fee is seasonal collection of yard waste materials (grass clippings, leaves, weeds, twigs, etc.). Dirt and sod are not accepted. Biodegradable brown paper bags are the preferred containers for yard waste; however, MDC will also collect yard waste from garbage cans that you supply that are clearly marked on the side (visible from 20?) with a large “X” (use paint, duct tape or a similar durable material). Yard waste carts (95 gallon, similar to that provided for household waste) can be rented from MDC for a small monthly fee and eliminate the need to continually purchase the biodegradable bags.
MDC Environmental Services will now pick up electronics curbside when arranged by the resident (excluding Sun City and apartments). There is a fee required but this gives residents an option if they do not wish to wait for Green & Clean Huntley day or do not want to haul it to a collection location / event.
