The City of Perry will be coming through during the month of August to collect yard waste.

According to Marketing and Engagement Coordinator Chris Cohea, residents should be placing all yard waste except trees, bush, or brush materials into biodegradable paper bags with a maximum weight of 40 pounds. He stresses that no garbage containers, plastic bags, or cardboard boxes are allowed to be picked up. 

Cohea explains that all trees, bush, or brush materials need to be bundled and tied in maximum lengths of four feet. He describes that residents will set their waste on the nearest street curb, as city employees will come discard it every Wednesday in August. Any questions can be directed to Perry City Hall at (515)-465-2481.
