Monticello offers residents several free options to dispose of their landscape waste. 

Besides the monthly curbside pickup, the Landscape Waste Facility, which also houses the Monticello Driving Range, is open seven days a week from the end of March through November. This is a convenient way for residents to rid their yards from brush, leaves, and grass clippings, free of charge.  Residents are asked to separate the grass clippings from the brush and leaves, and dispose of them in the designated areas.

The facility is located at 904 Allerton Road which is just south of the Monticello Golf Course.
