debris cart.
Preparation
Guidelines - what goes in the cart?
Leaves,
weeds and grass clippings. Prunings and branches are acceptable
so long as they are no greater than 4" in diameter and less
than 36" in length.
What to keep out
DO NOT INCLUDE dirt, sod, stumps, metal, rocks, ashes, food
waste, plastic, household garbage, lumber or animal wastes.
How much yard debris can I put in my container?
It is important not to overload your yard debris cart. Overloading may not allow
the materials to fall freely from the cart when tipped. Please keep all materials
well inside the cart. The maximum weight of the yard debris cart should not exceed
120
pounds.
Prunings
or
branches
sticking
out
of
the
cart
may
not allow the vehicle to dump the cart contents. Additionally, grass clippings
that
sit
for an extended period of time will have a tendency to begin decomposing causing
them to lodge into the cart. Simply turn the clippings over inside the cart with
a shovel or long-handled cultivator to break them up.
More yard debris than
container? Here's what you can do.
When you have excess yard debris you may bundle branches and prunings or place
clippings in a kraft paper bag and set it out with your yard debris. There
is
an additional fee for each bag/bundle. Please contact our office for information
on services, rates and specific instructions. Please do
not use plastic bags.
Your hauler
will not be able to pick them up.
KRAFT BAG: Usually
a 30 gallon kraft "brown" paper bag that is available for purchase at most garden
centers. Please keep the weight under 45 pounds.
BUNDLE: Make certain materials are smaller than 36" long and less than 4" in
diameter. Tie the bundle with string or twine. Please keep the weight of each
bundle under 45 pounds and the bundle less than 16" in diameter. Do not use wire,
plastic ties or tape to secure your bundles.
