Yard waste season runs from the week of Monday, April 7, 2025, to the week of December 15, 2025. Yard waste is collected weekly on your regular trash day annually from April to December. Please place your yard waste out at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the morning of your scheduled pickup date.

Fall leaf pickup is here! This year, the Public Works Department (DPW) will collect leaves weekly for the entire City, one business day before your normal trash pickup day. This change will make the collection more efficient and streamlined. The program begins the week of October 20, 2025, and ends the week of November 24, 2025.

Give your pumpkins a final hurrah with the City of Ferndale’s Pumpkin Plop! Drop off your fall pumpkins in the special dumpsters. Only real pumpkins are welcome—leave the plastic impostors at home. Please do not include painted pumpkins, artificial pumpkins, hay bales, corn stalks, yard debris, food waste, or candles.
