City of Bay City’s yard waste program runs from April through November each year, with compostable materials being collected weekly on resident’s regular trash pick-up days.

Yard waste must be placed in kraft yard bags or in a 32 gallon or less container with handles, that is marked Yard Waste Only and weighing no greater than 40 lbs when filled. City crews will not collect yard waste material placed into plastic bags, cardboard boxes, grocery bags or other non-approved containers.

Compost is available for purchase through the City of Bay City. (April– October)
