Spring collection of Kraft paper bags occurs April 7 - April 25, 2008.

Fall collection of Kraft paper bags occurs the third week of October to the end of December.

Consider buying additional YARDY carts for those times of the year when you have extra yard waste volume. They cost $50.00 each and belong to the purchaser.
