Full Breakdown

Under Springdale Code of Ordinances § 102-4(2), yard or other trash (excluding garbage) must go into disposable containers or be tied into bundles no longer than four feet and no heavier than 50 pounds, placed at the street curb on the resident's scheduled pickup date. Separately, § 102-1 caps bulky-waste tree cuttings at five feet in length and excludes tree trimmings, large branches, or wood from a hired tree service from the bulky-waste definition altogether: that debris remains the property owner's own removal responsibility, not the city contractor's. The Public Works Department also runs a limited bulky-waste pickup, up to 16 cubic yards per household per year, under § 102-6.

Violations & Fines

Leaving oversized bundles or unbagged yard debris at the curb outside the collection window violates § 102-5's placement rules and is punishable under the general Sec. 1-9 fine schedule.
