Yard Waste - For Winona Lake residents, yard waste is usually picked up every Monday and continues on Tuesday, if necessary. Yard waste is to be placed in "biodegradable bags."  The bags can be obtained at Menards, Lowe's and other retail outlets. The purchase of bags will be the resident's responsibility.

Leaves will still be picked for a brief period in the Spring and for the Fall leaf season by the leaf vacuum truck. The bags are to be utilized outside the times that the leaf vacum truck is in service.
