County to Continue Yard Material Pick-Up

After several complaints that people still have lawn materials bagged and awaiting pickup after the scheduled date (including mine!) we contacted the county and received this response:

"The Bureau of Solid Waste Management is working diligently with the County Collectors to resolve the yard material issue which is not unique to just your street or residence, but County wide. The issue is basically that the County Collectors can only haul so much yard material at any given time AND the amount of set out yard material County-wide is enormous. So while the last day of yard material set out has passed, the Collectors will continue to pick up as much of the material as they physically can until it is all gone.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me directly and I will be happy to answer them and help you any way we can. Thank you.

Also, if you only have a couple bags then you can simply put it out with your normal trash and they should take it.
