In 2007, Carroll County regulations changed to require that yard waste
be placed in heavy brown paper bags. CCWS does not provide these bags;
they are available for purchase at local retailers.
Because yard waste cannot be taken with trash to the Carroll County landfill,
we offer a separate yard waste collection service for our customers.
The collected yard waste is then mulched and recycled.
Collection Guidelines
•
Leaves and grass must be placed in PAPER bags weighing no more than 40 lbs.
•
Sticks, twigs, branches, and vines must be bundled and tied with string or bagged.
•
Branches and limbs cannot be larger than 3 inches in diameter and 4.5 feet long.
The following items CANNOT be collected with yard waste
•
Soil or mulch
•
Lumber or wood chips
•
Animal Waste
•
Plastic or other non-biodegradable packaging
Please place your yard waste out on Thursday night.
We begin collection very early on Friday morning.
Thank you.
