The bundling is required to allow quick pick-up and size limitations are required to avoid damaging the equipment in the crushing process.  Up to four (4) containers or bags of yard waste such as bagged grass clippings, leaves and small trimmings will be picked up at the backdoor (for residents that have backdoor service). Anything over four (4) containers or bags must be placed at the curb. Yard waste must be either in containers or bags not exceeding (65) gallons or forty pounds.
