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 100 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.
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.
Please follow the preparation guidelines to ensure that your yard debris will be collected. In the event that their is a challenge with your yard debris preparation your hauler may leave a Mispreparation Notice as described below.
On occasion you may find a mispreparation notice from your hauler. This notice means that the hauler needs your assistance to properly recycle your yard debris materials. Often you can correct the mispreparation and your hauler will pick the materials on the next yard debris collection day. If you have specific questions regarding the mispreparation notice – contact us at (503) 648.4219.
