Yard Waste News:

As you may have heard, last year Carroll County Landfill implemented NEW requirements in respect to the collection of YARD WASTE. For several years, Carroll County's Solid Waste Ordinance has prohibited Yard Waste from being mixed with regular household trash. Yard Waste has had to be segregated and managed separately. As such, AREA REFUSE SERVICE offers a separate Yard Waste Program to our customers, in which we collect only Yard Waste on those scheduled collection days.

Due to numerous problems associated with the use of plastic bags, the County NO LONGER accepts Yard Waste in PLASTIC BAGS! Since July 1st 2007, residents have been required to package any type of Yard Waste materials in either loose containers (trash cans that can be emptied) or paper lawn bags. The County recommends the use of "KRAFT" brand paper lawn bags. However, there are other brands and types of lawn bags available. Due to the environmental issues, any bags used for Yard Waste must be Bio-Degradable and Environmentally Friendly! According to County documents, "Kraft" paper lawn bags are available for purchase at almost any store (Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, K-Mart, and most grocery stores). "Kraft" bags hold thirty (30) gallons. The average cost for the bags is five (5) for $2.49 or fifteen (15) for $7.99.

Please do not set any Yard Waste out for collection that is not properly packaged, as our crew will not collect it......

As a reminder, we are not allowed to collect tree stumps, logs (greater than 4" diameter & 4' in length), rocks, dirt or lumber. Any brush, limbs, twigs, etc must be 4 feet in length or shorter and 4 inches in diameter or smaller and cannot be loose, it must be bundled or left behind. There is a 30 bag or bundle limit per collection and there are 2 collections per month (April thru November)
