Can I Use Plastic Bags For Yard Waste?

Garbage, Yard Waste and Recycling
No, plastic bags of any kind are no longer accepted for yard waste. Yard waste is picked up weekly on your scheduled day and must be in bins, tied bundles of 4 feet or less in length (with branches 6 inches or less in diameter), or compostable paper lawn-and-leaf bags. The weight limit is 40 pounds per item at unlimited 40-pound increments. Yard waste cannot be collected if it is not properly disposed of. Do not place yard waste in your county-provided garbage or recycling bins. You may repurpose your old garbage can for your yard waste.
*Please note: Compostable plastic bags are NOT able to be accepted - only compostable paper bags specifically for lawn-and-leaf collection can be collected.
