Summary

Yard waste pickup in Marysville is opt-in curbside service through the city's contractor, not a mandatory part of garbage collection, under Marysville Municipal Code § 7.08.033.

The owner and occupant of any premises within the city shall have the option of voluntarily registering for curbside collection service for yard waste provided by the city's contractor. Such customers shall be required to comply with all regulations and rate schedules relating to the same as specified in this chapter; provided, that this section shall not apply to properties which are located in newly annexed areas of the city temporarily covered by a franchise granted by the city to a private disposal company.

Full Breakdown

Yard waste service isn't automatic: property owners must voluntarily register for curbside yard waste collection through the city's contractor under Marysville Municipal Code § 7.08.033, then follow the same rate schedule and rules as regular garbage service. The code defines yard waste narrowly: leaves, grass, and prunings and clippings, capped at four inches in diameter and four feet long, with dirt, rocks and sod excluded, though cut-and-bundled Christmas trees up to four feet qualify under § 7.08.012(5).

Violations & Fines

Putting garbage, recyclables, or oversized branches in a yard waste cart violates the commingling ban in § 7.08.050(3), which can shift the load back under regular garbage disposal rules and extra charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is yard waste pickup automatic with my garbage bill?
No. Marysville residents must register for the optional curbside yard waste service under Marysville Municipal Code § 7.08.033; it isn't bundled with compulsory garbage collection.
Can I put tree branches in my yard waste cart?
Only if they're under four inches in diameter and four feet long. Larger material doesn't meet the code's definition of yard waste under § 7.08.012(5).
