What is "Green Waste"? Green waste includes grass, leaves, vines, hedge timings, and small to medium size branches. Root balls and branches over three inches are not accepted. Grass, leaves, vines, and hedge trimmings need to be in brown bags or unbagged in a bin. It is not necessary to purchase unique compost bags to participate in the program. Other wastes, such as rocks, plastic, construction material, trash, or animal waste mustn't mix with green waste. Questions call the DPW at 617-846-1341.
