[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 126433, member: 1697"] we have to buy our bags from the city. They cannot weigh more than 50 pounds, hold approx 2 standard kitchen sized garbage bags in them, they must be tied closed, and they cost $2 each (and some odd cents, they just went up) They are bright blue. Our recycles go into a blue bin we get from the city for $8. Many years ago we used to have to use brown paper grocery bags to seperate each type of recycle, but now we just put it all in the bin. Our yard waste must go in either a big special brown bag or a 30 gal can with a bright orange sticker we purchase from city hall for $3. This is for leaves, grass clippings, sticks, but sticks cannot be more than 4 ft long, nor more than half an inch diameter, and yard waste cannot weigh more than 50 pounds no matter if it is in a can or brownn bag. If you are found to have yard waste in your houssehold garbage, it is a $500 fine. ANd yes, they do periodic checks. For anythiing that does not fit into the bags, or for anything that weighs more than 50 pounds, you have to call a collector and make your own special arrangements. People got caught useing the dumpsters at apartment buildings and behind business so now they have instituted heavy fines if you are caught taking your garbage elsewhere unless you own the building with the dumpster. Those fines start at $500 In October they have curbside leaf collection, we rake our leaves to the curb- they must NOT be on the street, and twice thru October a giant truck comes and s u c k s leaves from the curbs. The schedule for when each street should have the service is printed in the newspaper. There is a $10 charge on our water bill whether we use the service or not. No burning of any kind is allowed in the city or the county. None. Not due to fire risk, but to asthmatics etc. Fines for fires begin at $500, too. [/QUOTE]
