Yard WasteThe City of Martinsburg began the Yard Waste Program on May 1, 1997. Residents, businesses and lawn care services that accumulate yard waste, are required to dispose of these products by dropping off the yard waste materials at two drop-off sites provided by the City. The drop-off sites are:
City Public Works Facility on Boston Street Monday thru Friday - 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
City's Recycling Center on Stephen Street Friday and Saturday - 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.Biodegradable bags are to be used for yard waste products only. Bags (39 gallon) will be available to City residents at a cost of $2.00 for a sleeve of 10 bags. Bags are available at City Hall, Martins, Rogers County Market and Food 4 Less.
Yard waste consists of leaves, grass clippings, flowers, plant stalks, vines, small twigs, tree limbs, branches and brush. This does not include dirt, stones, rocks, etc. These items will damage the equipment used in processing the yard waste.

Litter CollectionThe Public Works Department is responsible for litter pick-up downtown in public streets, sidewalks and public parking lots. This is especially critical during the warm weather months and on event weekends.
