City of Jefferson Discontinues Yard Waste Services

Jefferson City, Mo:  City Council decided to not move forward on proposals to continue with providing subsidized yard waste services to city residents in a closed session on Tuesday, February 20, 2024. The decision came after reviewing two separate proposals to provide yard waste services. 

One vendor, Federal Recycling, responded to the City's Yard Waste Service RFP with a cost proposal for the City. The City was also reviewing a proposal from Republic Services to add yard waste to the existing solid waste contract. After City staff brainstormed in-house approaches to providing yard waste, none were deemed to be effective or cost-efficient.
