If you are an Urbana resident, you have a couple of weeks to start gathering up your yard waste. Spring leaf collection will happen April 4-8, for that week only. Only leaves and non-woody plant material will be accepted, and it should be placed at the curb in paper lawn bags on your U-Cycle day.
Outside of that week, you can bring materials to the Landscape Recycling Center for a fee.
