Moffett Field Yard Waste Program

When calling for service or inquiries always identify yourself as a "Moffett Field" resident!

Yard waste is collected weekly in your green cart. Put leaves, small branches cut into 3 foot lengths or less and grass clippings in your yard waste toter cart. Yard waste must fit inside the toter cart and the lid must be closed.
