Students’ arrival delays Lawrence yard waste collection service

The rush of students moving into Lawrence apartments will disrupt the city’s normal yard waste collection service.

City trash crews will not pick up yard waste on Aug. 2, but instead will run extra routes to pick up trash generated by students moving in and out of apartments.

Residents who need to dispose of yard waste on Aug. 2 will be allowed to set it out with their regular trash. The city’s normal schedule for yard waste collection will resume Aug. 9.
