Trash
Household trash should be placed in 45 gallon or smaller trash

Yard waste (consisting of grass clippings, shrub clippings, vegetation,
weeds, leaves, brush, and tree branches under 3" thick) should
be placed in approved paper yard waste recycling bags. Plastic
bags are not acceptable for yard waste.
A trash-can may be used as an alternative to paper bags.
If a trash-can is used, the lid must remain off.
