Republic Services and/or the Brush Crew will not pick up grass clippings. FYI: Leaving your grass clippings on the lawn after you mow allows them to work back into the soil for a more natural and beautiful lawn. Grass clippings also make excellent compost for gardens. Otherwise, you can bag your clippings and bring them to the Grand Prairie Landfill for disposal.
You may put hand pulled weeds in with your regular trash for pick up in your twice weekly garbage collection.
