Helpful Hints for Properly Disposing of Leaves
Posted/updated on: November 29, 2015 at 4:40 pmTYLER — With the changing season, trees have begun shedding their leaves — and that means raking and filling numerous bags of yard waste. Tyler officials say the Solid Waste Department may not pick up all bags during customers’ regularly scheduled pick-up days. They say that’s to alleviate the safety concerns of having residential crews working late into the evening due to the increase in garbage collection, If a residence has excessive bags of leaves, an alternate truck may be used to complete the route on a different day.
For residents who would like to try an alternative to bagging leaves, compost bins are available through the Solid Waste Department and may be purchased for $60. Proceeds from sales help to fund Keep Tyler Beautiful projects. You can go to http://www.TylerSolidWaste.com to learn more about the Solid Waste Department, including how to get in touch.
