TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE GREEN WASTE DISPOSAL

The Fire Safe Council of Nevada County, in partnership with the County of Nevada and Waste Management, are hosting FREE green waste disposal sites on weekends throughout the month of May. Residents may drop off green waste material at six locations. Green waste disposal locations staged throughout Nevada County will accept green waste only.

Acceptable items: Biomass consisting of all tree and plant trimmings, dead plants, weeds, leaves, branches, and similar materials that fit into a Green Waste Cart. 

Unacceptable items: Items with a diameter greater than six inches, tree stumps, and root balls. Absolutely no household waste or trash will be accepted. 

This is a community-wide effort fueled by many volunteer hours. We respectfully ask for you to closely monitor what is being loaded for drop off and help each other on site at the drop locations. 

This program will take place from 8am-4pm.
