There couple of parameters that residents ought to follow when throwing out their yard waste.
Yard waste is known as most things that is?made of course and under 5 feet long, under 6 inches in diameter and under 40 pounds in weight, Skinner said.

Residents ought to be careful about where they place their debris for get.
“It shouldn’t be near any utility boxes such as transformers, phone or cable outlets… water meters, mail boxes,” he explained. “Because if they reach pick these items up, they may be damaged, especially with larger items.”
