The city Of Westbrook has scheduled a yard waste drop-off program for April 19 through May 20.

This program is to assist the citizens of Westbrook in disposing of yard waste and garden debris. The items eligible for drop-off are as follows:

Tree Branches – tree branches that are 3 inches or less in diameter (limited to one pickup truck load of branches per residency).
