GARBAGE GUIDELINES
All garbage must be in garbage bags and properly tied. This includes all cardboard. Cardboard must be broken
down flat and placed into garbage bags. It is advisable to have a garbage can or container of some kind to put
the bags into as birds and animals can be an issue. Garbage bags should not weigh more then 35 lbs. I am a
throw and go operation and generally need to throw the bags 8 feet into the air to get them into my truck.
Some things that I do not take are:
visible cardboard
loose garbage
grass or leaves
construction or contractor materials
