About
Johnston residents can easily dispose of their live Christmas trees and remaining yard waste during the Compost It! program's winter collection. Trees require a sticker and removal of all decorations, while yard waste can be bagged, bundled, or placed in an enrolled cart. This service offers a hassle-free way to manage post-holiday cleanup.
