CLIFTON PARK ANNOUNCES START OF YARD WASTE PICKUP
Twin Bridges to Begin Curbside Pick-Up April 1st

 Twin Bridges will be conducting curbside yard waste pick-up for Clifton Park residents in 2024.   The service will be offered beginning April 1st through the end of November, weather permitting. 

“The Town has offered this valuable service to Clifton Park residents for many years, said Town Supervisor Phil Barrett.  This year the Town is partnering with Twin Bridges Waste and Recycling to ensure yard waste is removed, processed, and recycled timely and professionally”.

Leaves, grass clippings, tree and shrub trimmings and other brush will be collected in brown paper yard waste bags only.  The yard waste along with the bags are recycled through a processing system.  No yard waste will be collected from garbage cans or any other containers.  Small, bundled brush that is less than four feet long and three feet in diameter will also be collected.  Bundles need to be tied to allow for easy pick-up and disposal.

Items that will not be collected include animal waste, garden debris, tree or shrub roots of any type, tree stumps or logs, waste products including household garbage, pressure treated wood, railroad ties, building debris, plastic, metal, or other foreign materials.

Twin Bridges will be working their way through the Town weekly.   Residents are encouraged to have their yard waste ready for pickup by Sunday evening.  At various times of the year when yard waste debris pick up is heavier than normal, sections of Town may take longer to collect.  Please do not cover the bags with tarps. Bags must be visible on the curb.

The Town Transfer Station also accepts yard waste all year long during regular business hours from Clifton Park residents only.  No permit is needed but an ID is required. More information can be found at https://cliftonpark.org/departments/transfer-station.html
