City Of Kenosha issued the following announcement on Sept. 30
The Fall 2021 curbside yard waste collection program begins Monday, October 11, 2021 and will be collected through Friday, December 3, 2021. The City of Kenosha requires that residents place their yard waste in city-approved biodegradable bags during curbside collection, which are the Bag To Nature, BioBag or Ecoguard bags. Yard waste must be placed in these biodegradable bags, or it will not be picked up. Please place yard waste bags at the curb at least three feet from your automated carts. The City processes the yard waste into high-grade compost, which is available to City residents for pickup at the yard waste site free of charge. The biodegradable bags have significantly reduced collection and processing costs while producing higher quality compost.
Citizens are reminded that the City of Kenosha will not accept fruit or vegetables as yard waste, whether it is bagged for curbside yard waste collection, or brought to the drop-off site. Plants may be included with yard waste, but must be stripped of vegetables, fruits and nuts. These materials are waste and must be disposed of as waste.
To encourage composting and help offset the cost of biodegradable bags, the City of Kenosha is offering a coupon for $2 off each box of city-approved biodegradable yard waste bags. The coupons are available at City of Kenosha Department of Public Works and City Clerk, 625 52nd Street, and on the City of Kenosha website, www.kenosha.org. One coupon must accompany the purchase of each box or bundle of biodegradable bags and there is a limit of four coupons per visit. The coupon is valid only at Kenosha area retailers and the coupons do not apply to previous purchases. The city-approved biodegradable yard waste bags can be found at the following Kenosha area locations:
Prairie Side
True Value
Festival Foods
Lowe’s
Walgreens
Menards
