Additional Yard Waste Containers

For any yard waste that does not fit in the cart supplied by the city, you can use:

  • • A 32-gallon can with handles, purchased from a home or garden store. Label your can "yard waste," and fill it loosely, so that it will empty easily when turned upside down.

  • • Bundles, tied with natural fiber twine, up to 4 feet long by 2 feet in diameter. Do not use wire, nylon cording, or plastic banding to tie these bundles.

  • • Kraft paper bags, available at many home and garden retailers
