Leaf and yard waste best practices

• Bags need to be kept dry. Wet leaf and yard bags will not be picked up. Keep your bags dry by placing them in a storage shed, garage or under a tarp until your day of collection.
• Items placed in plastic bags will not be collected.
• Additional yard waste can be bundled with string or twine, at a size less than three feet in length and 40 pounds in weight.
• Grass clippings, sod, root balls, stumps and branches over three inches in diameter will not be accepted for curbside collection.
• Please do not rake or blow leaves into ditches; this can create blockage and cause drainage issues.
