Quincy’s Final Storm Debris Pick Up Set for Monday, October 5

The final storm-related landscape waste pick up will be this Monday, October 5.  All residents of the City of Quincy must have their storm-related landscape waste curbside or in the alley right-of-way by 8 a.m. Monday so crews can haul it away.

Any additional yard waste put out after that time will need to be in accordance with the rules of Evans Recycle that states the following. In order for yard waste (leaves and grass) to be collected, it must be bagged, bundled or in cans (loose) and placed at the curb. Yard waste can be stored in reusable cans or in biodegradable paper bags which are also sold in local stores. Branches are not to exceed 1” in diameter and 4 feet in length.

Cans and bags should be marked with an “X” from either tape or a marker. Plastic bags will not be accepted. The total weight of bags or receptacles must not exceed 40 pounds. To avoid over-weighing, 55 gallon drums will no longer be accepted. Items not falling under these specifications can be transported to 711 West Radio Road in Quincy.

For questions or additional information, call the City of Quincy at 217-228-4500.
