Pruning and Yard Cleaning Season Guidelines: Landscaper Versus Homeowner Yard Waste

Pruning season is approaching, and we appreciate your help in keeping our community clean and safe. As a reminder, Best Trash does not collect contractor-generated trash. Landscapers must haul away their large volumes of yard debris generated during their cleanups. This is the only way Best Trash can continue to collect all household waste and complete their routes efficiently. Please follow these guidelines when preparing yard waste for disposal:

Branches & Trimmings

  • Branches must be no more than 4 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length.
  • All trimmings must be tied and bundled.
  • Each bundle should weigh no more than 40 pounds.
  • Best Trash will collect up to five tied bundles per collection day.

Bags of Leaves/Grass

  • Leaves must be placed in bags for pickup.
  • Bags should be securely tied and weigh no more than 40 pounds each.
  • Best Trash will collect up to 5 bags of leaves/grass per collection day (adjust this number if your community has a specific limit).

If You Use a Landscaper

If a landscaping service maintains your yard, please ensure they remove all trimmings and bagged leaves. This service is typically included in their fees.
