A few reminders of requirements: Each unit should weigh less than 35 lbs. Branches should not exceed three-inches in diameter and must be cut into 4-foot lengths and tied in bundles. Only biodegradable paper yard waste bags should be used. Plastic bags are not accepted. Waste can also be placed into reusable containers of up to 32-gallon capacity with holes drilled on the side near the bottom to allow for water drainage.
