Why paper bags matter in yard waste disposal

To ensure effective and eco-friendly yard waste removal, please use a 30-gallon paper bag, which you can find at most hardware stores. These paper bags are not just convenient, but also essential for easy composting. Make sure to only include leaves and yard or grass clippings in these bags. For items like long sticks, branches, or limbs, create separate bundles that are up to 4 feet long and weigh no more than 40 pounds. Following these guidelines helps us turn your yard waste into valuable compost.
