No, plastic bags are not
acceptable. You may set your yard trash out once a week
on the designated day in reusable containers such as
standard, 32-gallon trash cans. The cans must not
exceed 40 gallons' capacity.
Place yard trash within four feet of the curb or edge of
a street surface, and adjacent to the driveway. Please
DO NOT block the use of sidewalks. Place yard trash
curbside between 5 p.m. on the day before collection and
6:30 a.m. on collection day.
Yard waste includes grass clippings, tree trimmings,
weeds, and leaves. Please DO NOT include other wood,
such as lumber. These materials can contaminate the
mulch created for recycling. Tree trunks or branches
must be less than four feet long, and no heavier than 50
pounds. Branches and palm fronds should be stacked
uniformly at the curb for collection on your yard trash
day. |
