Cheyenne’s yard waste program beginning April 3

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - The only thing worse than pulling weeds in the backyard is having to stare at that pile of weeds in the backyard.

Luckily, Cheyenne’s yard waste program is returning to relieve citizens of those eye sores.

Collections will start Monday, April 3 and the city says waste containers must be on the street curb by 6 a.m.

Keep in mind, however, that alley pick-up is not allowed for this program. Likewise, only lawn trimmings, weeds, and leaves can be placed loosely in yard waste containers with no bags or branches.

Even if you’re a notorious procrastinator and happen to miss this opportunity, the Cheyenne Compost Facility, located at 3714 Windmill Rd., is available for disposal of residential yard waste year-round from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Large loads are not accepted after 4:30 p.m.

Also, beginning May 1 through September 30, the Compost Facility will be open on Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. and is drop-off only. No loading or sales may occur.

For more information contact the Sanitation Division at (307) 637-6440. You may also find additional information at www.cheyennecity.org/publicworks or download the Recycle Coach app on your device. This app will allow you to receive scheduled collection changes from the City of Cheyenne.
