Pumpkins, Tree Fruits and Nuts

Crab Apples, Fruits and Nuts from Trees

Place crab apples, other fruits or nuts that have fallen from your trees in a securely tied certified compostable bag inside or beside your Green Cart. Please use the semi-translucent type of certified compostable bag.

If you must use a paper bag, please evidently write APPLES on it and have it separate from any paper Leaf & Yard bags you may also have at the roadside, to help prevent collection issues.

Fruits and nuts are not collected with Leaf and Yard Trimmings.
