Missouri law prohibits disposing of yard waste in a landfill. Instead, trash haulers take yard waste to designated sites where leaves, grass, and branches decompose naturally.

In St. Charles, yard waste is collected once per week. All containers must be accessible and ready for service by 6:00 a.m. on the assigned service day.

Those who want occasional yard waste pickup should utilize the Yard Waste Tag Program. Yard Waste Tags can be purchased at the grocery stores listed below. The current cost is $3.25 each. The tag program runs all year. You must call to schedule pick-ups only during the months of January and February. The 90-gallon cart for yard waste requires two tags for each pickup.

Regular curbside yard waste service is available March 1 - December 31 for an additional year-round fee of $28.98 per quarter. Once-Weekly yard waste service cannot be cancelled once in effect for the year. Includes collection of up to 10 yard waste items per week (any combination of designated 32 gallon cans, 30-gallon paper yard waste bags or properly prepared bundles of yard waste).  The 90-gallon cart counts as two items. Any additional items must be tagged. January and February yard waste pick up is every Wednesday with Allied Waste tags only when scheduled.
