Assistance is needed from Waynesville residents in keeping certain items out of the plastic bags put out with yard wastes.  Please do not mix flower pots, plastic containers, empty fertilizer or potting soil bags or any items of this nature with yard wastes.  These items need to go in your regular household garbage.  Plastic bags with yard wastes should include only grass, hedge trimmings, leaves, plants and other decomposable items.  Town employees must tear open the bags and remove items which have to go to another landfill.  Only yard wastes are permitted in our landfill.  The time to do this is increasing our expense for labor, and if it continues, we will have to hire more personnel and pass the cost along through higher garbage fees.  We need your cooperation to keep costs down on this matter.

Remember, tree trimming and yard waste generated by the work of a landscaping firm, private tree company or by individuals who are paid to perform this work, including major yard work, will not be picked up by the Town.  The property owner is responsible for disposing of this material.
