Other notes
- Pearl Street accepts brush, yard waste, leaves and grass clippings only. Not general trash at newer 6300 21st Street transfer/drop-off facility.
- Source conflict: general yard-waste definition limits woody vegetation to 4-inch diameter, while Pearl Street specific rule says no individual branch larger than 6 inches. Call before bringing branches over 4 inches; do not assume 6-inch acceptance.
- No tree stumps or root balls. No mixed trash/foreign matter.
- Use intersection directions: city source does not provide a verified numbered Pearl Street entrance address. City Hall footer 730 Washington Avenue is not this facility.
- Curbside seasonal leaf/branch preparation is a different service. Do not substitute curbside October-November windows for Saturday facility access.
