Free Yard Waste Disposal

Free yard waste disposal is available to the residents of the City of Cheney at the Recycling Facility at 100 Anderson Road. These yard waste disposal bins are available to City of Cheney residents from March to November, weather permitting.

Curbside Yard Waste Service

City of Cheney residents may choose to participate in our curbside yard waste pickup program. The City provides you with a 96-gallon green cart to be used for curbside pickup of yard waste. This service runs from April 1st through October 31st of each year.

Yard waste carts are emptied on the same day as your normal garbage pickup. There is a fee of $12 per month that will be added to your utility bill. During the months that the service is inactive, simply keep your yard waste cart in storage for the next year.
