Leaves and grass clippings may be placed in biodegradable paper yard waste bags available at local retailers. Yard waste stickers are not required from October 15 through December 14, 2018. Bags are to be placed at least three feet from the sanitation cart on the scheduled garbage collection days. Residents are encouraged to bag their leaves and take advantage of the "sticker-free" leaf bag collection period, rather than wait for the leaf vacuum collection.
