Because of the Christmas holidays, the City of Palatka’s yard debris, generally held on Wednesday, will be held on Friday, Dec. 29. This will include Christmas trees. Christmas trees should be placed away from obstructions (i.e., signs, mailboxes, low overhead lines, and limbs).
Residents are reminded that yard waste includes grass clippings, small tree limbs, and leaves. Limbs can be no greater than 4’ in length and 4” in diameter and also placed away from obstructions. Any bagged leaves or clippings must be in paper bags, not plastic bags. Piles in excess of 1 cubic yard (3’x3’x3’) must be scheduled for pickup. Residents can contact public works at (386) 329-0107 to schedule the collection of large yard debris piles.
All clippings, limbs, and/or tree debris generated from contracted work must be hauled off by the contractor.
