Yard Waste Survey
After direction from City Council and in an effort to gauge the concern and need for yard waste services within the City of Corcoran, staff created a survey that was distributed to residents via the City website, social media channels, and newsletter. The survey was active between February 2 and February 27, 2026, and was only open to Corcoran residents. The City received a total of 66 responses.
City Council Direction On Yard Waste In Corcoran
At the March 26, 2026, City Council meeting, Council concluded that the implementation of a City-operated yard waste management site is not a viable option at this time, but did provide various yard waste management options for interested residents, which can be found below. The decision was made after reviewing results from a City-wide yard waste survey.
