Be sure to review these tips when selecting an acceptable yard waste container:
- Yard waste bags are to be a minimum of 2-ply, biodegradable paper, not to exceed 30-gallons or 50 pounds’ when full.
- Any non-LRS containers may be used so long as they do not exceed 33 gallons in size or 50 pounds in weight when full. Containers must clearly indicate YARD WASTE.
- Yard waste container labels stickers are available at City Hall.
- Non-LRS containers must have two handles for lifting. LRS does not recommend using your own container as drivers may use the automated lifting mechanism which may damage your container.
- LRS will not repair or replace non-LRS containers used for yard waste.
