Compostable items such as leaves, weeds, twigs, etc., should be placed in yard waste bags (under 2 inches in diameter and broken/cut to fit in yard waste bags).

Alternatively, yard waste may be placed in plastic garbage cans marked with SOCRRA "Yard Waste" stickers, which are available at no cost. Stickers can be obtained at City Hall. Stop by and pick up as many as needed, or call and request them to be mailed.
