Other notes
- This is an actual receiving site with its own address and operating hours, not a second page for a curbside collection stream.
- The city describes yard waste, leaves, grass and tree limbs for its yard-waste program. Confirm size/preparation limits specifically for self-haul loads; the two-inch and four-foot branch limits in the curbside section should not silently be treated as drop-off limits.
- No general garbage, electronics, batteries or household chemical acceptance is established at this yard-waste site. Do not mix them with brush or compostable yard material.
- Directions: south on Gardner Expressway, right onto Radio Road, then right into Evans Recycling. The Central Services office at 2020 Jennifer Road is not this receiving location.
- The September 23-25, 2026 city cleanup at Front and Payson is already past and is not a daily bulky-waste option. The general city holiday pickup table has year/date errors and is not a verified site-opening calendar.
