Curbside Collection
Green waste consists of plant trimmings that residents place in City-provided green waste paper bags or tie in small bundles for curbside collection on the same day as recycling.

The collected green waste is delivered to the Comal County Rural Recycling location and chipped into free mulch. Curbside Green Waste collection is not provided to apartments, condominiums, or businesses.

Remember, don't trash your green waste - it jepoardizes the program. (¡NO ensucies tus deshechos de jardín y ramas! - in Espanol)

Collection Requirements

• Use only paper green waste bags.
• For small branches - cut into 4-foot lengths and bundle with rope or twine.
• Each bag and bundle must weigh less than 40 pounds.
• Place curbside no earlier than 8:00 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 6:30 a.m. on the day of collection.

Composting
As easy as making a sandwich, composting is a great way to create fertile soil for your garden or yard, as well as reduce the waste you send to the landfill. Backyard and worm composting are two simple options.

Grass & Leaf Clippings
There is no need to bag clippings; grass and leaf clippings can be recycled by simply leaving them on your lawn. The clippings contain beneficial nutrients and help retain moisture. For finely ground clippings, use a mulching lawnmower.
