Yard Waste Information

If residents place plastic containers at the curbside with yard waste inside, a "Shawano Yard Waste" sticker must be placed on the container clearly visible to the collection crew. These stickers are available at the Department of Public Works located at 2905 E Richmond Street at no cost to the resident.
