Yard waste is a natural renewable
resource winch can be used to enrich
our lawns and gardens instead of
being tossed needlessly into the
landfill. That's why a new state environ- (
mental law no longer allows the City to
take yard waste to the landfill.
How does this affect you? You no '
longer will be ab'e to bag yard waste
to throw away with your garbage.
However, you now have several old
?and new environmentally friendly ways
to get rid of yard waste. These "natural"
choices are listed below.
NEW "YARD WASTE CART'

of grass clippings, excess leaves
or otner yard

waste cart
collection
and

Winston -Salem
residents who
prefer not to compost yard waste at
home.
How Can I Receive
This Service?
To receive the service you must
purchase a special roll out cart avail
able from the City. The cart costs $46 if
you pick it up at the City Warehouse,
which is located at 1550 Martin Luther
King, Jr. Drive. If you would like a cart
delivered to your home, the cost is
S50. Toorderacart,simpfy

LOOSE LEAF &
BRUSH COLLECTION
From October 15th throush January

loose leaves from all neighborhoods .
every 10 to 12 working days. The
collected leaves are taken to a city
composting facility. Once the
compost is ready, it's made available
to City residents at no charge!
The City also will continue to
provide year-round collection of
brush. Collection trucks come by
every 7 to 10 days. (Collection is very
