The City of Kentwood will accept yard waste at the brush drop-off site, including brush, sticks, tree limbs and logs as well as leaves and grass clippings. Leaves should be loose when dropped off, not left in bags. After the cleanup event, the City’s brush and leaf drop-off sites will remain open through Friday, May 26. Hours of operation for the drop-off sites are noon-8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday. The site is closed Sunday, April 9.
