Yard and leaf waste pickup schedule

The Standard Times has an article about yard and leaf waste pickup dates here. The pickup dates are one Friday during May depending on your regular trash pickup schedule. May 1 for Monday pickups, May 8 for Tuesday pickups, May 15 for Wednesday pickups, ...

...and May 22 for Thursday pickups

Leaves, grass clippings and dead plants must be placed in biodegradable plastic Eco bags or biodegradable paper bags to be picked up. If the waste is left in barrels or corrugated boxes, the containers will be emptied and left at the curb.
The yard waste will not be picked up if left in regular plastic or paper bags or with regular household trash.

Thanks to those who participated in the Dartmouth Green Up day this weekend. I saw a lot of collected bags along the side of our highways and even a group who went down the Paskamansett by canoe to pick up. Please help us keep Dartmouth clean and don't litter.
