Yard Waste


The Town of Burrillville does not collect Lawn and Yard Waste curbside.  Residents can bring their compostable material to the Whipple Ave. Recycling & Compost Facility during normal hours of operation.

Ideally, all yard waste should be composted.  Compostable material is any vegetative matter such as grass clippings, leaves, tree, shrub, and bush trimmings, tree branches, garden trimmings, plants, flowers, and any other plant matter.

All brush and tree limbs must be four inches or less in diameter, and cut in five foot lengths or less. Leaves and other compostable material will be accepted loose or in paper bags.

Logs, stumps, cut firewood, planks, and wood from construction are not accepted at the Whipple Ave. Recycling and Compost Facility.
Compostable materials in plastic bags will not be accepted.
