Leaf and yard trimmings include:

  • leaves
  • garden trimmings
  • house and garden plants
  • hedge and tree trimming
  • twigs and branches
  • grass clippings
  • brush and other plant materials
  • natural Christmas trees

No sod, root balls, stumps from below ground level, gravel, soil, treenuts, vegetables or fruits (including crab apples).
