With autumn in full swing, residents are reminded to properly prepare leaves and other yard waste for collection. A few tips include:
· Place leaves in untied plastic bags or uncovered trash cans (not City-issued rollout carts). Leaves may also be placed in biodegradable paper bags for collection
· Cut limbs, logs and brush to no more than 5 feet in length and 4 inches in diameter
· Separate yard waste into piles small enough for one person to handle.
After items are properly prepared, place them curbside no later than 6:30 am on your scheduled collection day. Please do not block the sidewalk with collection items. For more information, visit http://curbit.charlottenc.gov or call 311.
