Newport has tiny historic yards on the Point and Historic Hill, big lawns along Bellevue Avenue and Ocean Drive exposed to wind and salt, and short-term rentals where the yard has to be ready before guests arrive.
Newport collects yard waste every other week from May through November on your trash day, in paper bags, tied bundles or 32-gallon cans, never plastic bags; bags and barrels can't top 50 pounds and branches must be under four inches across and three feet long. Excess yard waste goes to the transfer station at no charge.
