Lake Worth, FL - Due to poor weather conditions, Lake Worth Vegetation Amnesty Week, originally scheduled to start tomorrow, has been postponed and will start Tuesday, May 22. This week refuse pickup will be on the normal schedule. Next week vegetation amnesty will happen on the following days:
• Zone 1 Monday June 4,
• Zone 2 Thursday May 24,
• Zone 3 Friday May 25,
• Zone 4 Tuesday May 22.
The vegetation amnesty week is designed to allow residents to dispose of large amounts of vegetation prior to the commencement of Hurricane Season (not to exceed 12 cubic yards per residential property). All vegetation should be placed curbside on a resident’s regular scheduled pick-up day and the City of Lake Worth’s Refuse Division will remove it at no charge.

DEFINITIONS OF VEGETATION ITEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS
• Only vegetation
• Tree branches less than (2) inches in diameter
• Branches and palm fronds less than (4) feet in length
• Stumps less than (15) inches in diameter and or less than fifty (50) pounds
• Do NOT use vegetation bin - place ALL vegetation at the curb (Unless you're in a condo on Lake Osborne Drive)
