On-street yard material collection starts the week of Oct. 19. See this post from GreenerDavis for all the specifics!

Fall/Winter Yard Material Pile Collection Season is Coming!

Fall/winter on-street yard material pick-up will begin the week of Oct. 19 and will continue every other week for 10 pick-ups through late February. Here are some reminders to be sure that collection runs as efficiently as possible!

• Always fill the organics cart first. On-street yard material collection is intended for excess leaves and prunings from trees and bushes that cannot fit into the organics cart. Placing yard trimmings in the organics cart rather than in piles keeps our streets cleaner, frees up space for parking and allows for more efficient collection.
• Place your piles out at the right time. Yard material piles cannot be set in the street more than seven days before collection. Check the yard material pile collection schedule and place piles on the street as close to collection day as possible.
• Check your pile size before pick-up. The Claw cannot pick-up piles that are larger than 5 feet in any direction. If your pile is too big, break it into smaller piles, but the piles need to be separated so the Claw can pick each one up separately. Make sure that branches are not larger than 8" in diameter and cut long branches into sections 5 feet long or shorter so that they can be collected with the rest of the pile.
• Keep piles out of bike lanes. Be aware that yard material piles can create serious hazards for cyclists; yard material piles may not be placed in any portion of a bike lane.

🏡 Affordable Homeownership Opportunities in Davis! Century Communities is developing 12 new affordable homeownership opportunities at Harvest Glen on East 8th Street in Davis. These are the first new ownership units added to the City's Affordable Homeownership Program in nearly 10 years. These homes are offered at below-market prices to qualifying households who meet the City's Affordable Homeownership Program requirements.

Who may qualify? The program is intended for first-time homebuyers earning no more than 120% of Yolo County’s Area Median Income (AMI), meet asset limits, qualify for a mortgage, afford housing costs and accept the City’s affordable housing deed restrictions.

How do I check eligibility? Visit the City's Affordable Homeownership webpage to review the income and asset limits, buyer guidelines and program requirements before expressing interest. https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/social-services-and-housing/housing-and-grants-management/affordable-housing-program/ownership

The deadline to be added to the interest list is 4 p.m. on December 2, 2026. [email protected]. The homes are three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes and are expected to be completed between September 2026 and May 2027.
