The Home Depot, 2201 Oakton St., owes Evanston more than $15,000 for yard waste stickers, city officials announced Monday.

The yard waste stickers will no longer be available at the store. According to the city’s statement, most of the invoices the city has issued to the store are more than a year old, in spite of repeated attempts to collect the funds.

In 2015, Evanston spent $119,408.50 at The Home Depot but the city will no longer buy goods from the store.

The stickers, which run at $1.75 apiece, must be placed on the paper bags of yard waste in order to be picked up by the city. Additionally, residents may order reusable yard waste carts, which cost $82.50 each and carry a $25 annual fee. The carts allow for an unlimited amount of yard waste to be picked up.

Yard waste is collected weekly on regular refuse and recycling collection days.

Evanston residents can buy yard-waste stickers at various locations, including three Jewel-Osco locations and the Levy Senior Center at 300 Dodge Ave.
