CLM Guidelines

CLM Sanitation will provide yard waste pickup. However, keep in mind that the reason for separating yard waste from the garbage is to recycle and reduce the waste stream. If we truly want to recycle, try using a mulching mower instead of bagging leaves and grass, or with sticks and tree limbs try chipping them up with a personal chipper. Another idea is to purchase a composting bin from a home improvement store, and mulch your yard waste. If you still have yard trimmings to dispose of, the following are some guidelines for placing your yard waste at the curb for pick up by CLM.

Recycle!
Please bag all yard waste in paper bags. These bags can be found at Home Depot, Lowe's, or Wal-Mart.
YARD WASTE INCLUDES:

  • Grass clippings
  • Leaves
  • Shrubs
  • Bush
  • Tree Trimmings
  • Christmas Trees (please remove all decorative materials)
  • Other vegetative materials generated from the personal maintenance of yards, lawns and landscaping
YARD WASTE DOES NOT INCLUDE:

  • Plastic planting tubs
  • Loose piles of leaves, grass or limbs
  • Wood fencing or posts
  • ANY TREE REMOVAL, LAND CLEARING, OR LANDSCAPING DONE BY AN OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR. THESE CONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMOVAL AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE.

Tree limbs or brush should be no more than 4 feet in length or 50 lbs. in weight, and bundled with string or rope. Also, it is very important to keep all other types of materials (trash, bottles, plastic, etc.) completely separated from the yard waste. Call 770.716.1899 to have your yard waste picked up. Yard pick up day is MONDAY. Please place the yard debris at the curb the night before.
