Independence residents can place bundled leaves and other yard waste outside their property for pick-up on normal trash collection days during the weeks of Oct. 22, Oct. 29 and Nov. 9, according to a recent announcement from the city.
“Yard waste includes grass clippings, bushes, branches and leaves,” the announcement said. “Items should either be bagged or tied in bundles less than four feet in length and 2 feet in diameter. Bags and bundles shouldn’t exceed more than 35 pounds. Residents are limited to 10 bags and/or bundles of yard waste each collection week.”
Yard waste collection does not incur additional cost during special collection weeks.
