City of Eureka Yard Waste Program

Green waste collection is available to all City of Eureka residents for an additional fee. This is an optional service. The cart will be emptied each week on your regular garbage pick up day. To help keep the cost as reasonable as possible, there will be a charge to collect the cart if the service is discontinued before six months have passed, or you may bring it to our office at no extra charge. For more information, or to sign up, please contact a customer service representative. For detailed information about what to put into your yard waste bin, please refer to the following guidelines.
