Please Containerize or Bundle Yard Trimmings

GreenWaste is asking that residents "containerize" or bundle their yard trimmings. The main concern is whatever yard trimmings (loose leaves, grass clippings, etc. materials) you would like to dispose of are “containerized” or bundled. For branches, you can bundle them with the rope or twine, or place then in a cart or bin to transport them to the Clean Up day. GreenWaste only accepts untreated wood waste and it must be less than 6 inches in diameter and less that 5 feet in length. 

Containerizing or Bundling = branches bundled together with rope or twine and loose leaves and clippings put in bags, carts, cans or bins.
