Garbage & Recycling Information and Pick-up Schedules

Yard Waste refers to organic debris produced as part of yard or garden development and maintenance (e.g. grass clippings, leaves, flowers, bark, branches and tree limbs no larger than 2" in diameter and 36" in length, etc.) All yard waste to be picked up must be placed in City of Tipton yard waste bags. Bags that are not City of Tipton approved yard waste will not be picked up.  The bags may be purchased at Tipton City Hall, Family Foods, Theisens or Tipton CarePro Pharmacy for $1.50 each. During the winter months, the city picks up yard waste on a call-in basis only. Leaves, twigs, branches, vegetation or other organic wastes may be burned on one's property only if in some sort of container to limit excessive smoke and ash. Any burning of garbage is prohibited. It is unlawful to burn any materials on any streets, gutters, curbs, sidewalks and alleys within the City of Tipton. The City maintains many miles of storm sewers to safely remove surface rainwater from streets and adjoining properties. In order to keep these sewers functioning properly the City requests resident cooperation in keeping leaves and grass clippings out of the street.
