The Birchwood Hills Homes Association has hired Compost Connection to pick up yard waste on the following dates for all residents. Dates and packaging guidelines are listed below. Be sure to have all bags to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on these scheduled dates. Compost Connection is also offering a discount on their regular programs for those of you that would like weekly service. You may contact them at 816-761-8300 or email orders@compostconnection.com if you have additional questions regarding your collection.
*Association Collection will be made on these MONDAY dates with the exception of KCMO Pickup dates which are indicated below:
Compost Connection will take up to 20 bags or bundles each collection date per home in Kraft paper lawn waste bags or tied into 18’ x 36” bundles. Route Service begins at 7:00 a.m. Please make sure all items are easily accessible from the street and not blocked by cars, garbage cans, etc.
Compost Connection will only pick up natural yard waste including grass, leaves, tree limbs (up to 6” diameter), flower or garden plants (without their pots), walnuts, apples, Christmas trees (6’ or less), etc. All materials collected are taken to a licensed compost facility. This recycling facility does not allow for any trash, landscape, or construction materials. If bags contain trash or foreign material they will have to be left at the curb. Any plastic inside your bag will be considered trash and not picked up. We do not collect animal waste. Please tie brush securely with rope or twine – not wire.
Mark bundles of thorns for the driver’s safety. Christmas Trees are the only items that do not require bagging or bundling. We will accept Christmas trees up to 6’ in length, if larger please cut them in half.
The maximum item weight is 50 pounds. Do not use plastic tape on paper bags since it is not biodegradable. Small cardboard boxes may be used provided they are no larger than the size and weight limits. We suggest boxes for fruits, small brush, wood, or items that would easily break a bag during removal. We ask you not use cans for your waste. Watch the placement of your paper bags to avoid sitting in water at the curb.
If you have any questions, please contact Compost Connection at 816-761-8300 or Email orders@compostconnection.com
