City of Syracuse Department of Public Works to Resume Collection of Yard Waste in April

Construction debris setouts limited to July and August only

The City of Syracuse Department of Public Works (DPW) will resume the collection of yard waste in April. DPW crews will begin picking up leaves, weeds, tree branches and other yard waste material in the Northeast quadrant, with its specific set out dates scheduled for the weekend of April 3 – 4. 

Set out dates for the remainder of April by quadrant are:

• Southeast quadrant: April 10 – 11
• Southwest quadrant: April 17 – 18
• Northwest quadrant: April 24 – 25

The City Services Guide lists the set out schedule in place for the remainder of 2021.

Residents should not set out construction debris in April, May or June. Construction debris in 2021 will be collected in the months of July and August only.

Residents are reminded that placement of yard waste in the road is not permitted as it creates dangerous safety issues and blockages to sewer infrastructure. Materials must also be kept clear of fire hydrants, poles, bushes, sewer vent pipes, and catch basins. The Yard Waste self-drop off site at 1200 Canal St. remains open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
