Benefits of Yard Waste Carts

The benefits of using carts for yard waste collection include:

  • More efficient collection
  • Safer roadways
  • Cleaner roadways for healthier habitats for wildlife. Cart collection keeps debris out of storm drains that empty into local creeks, streams, and waterways.
  • Prevents flooding that can occur when yard waste clogs stormwater drains.
  • Less pollen and dust in the spring. The fine particles can't be contained in vacuum trucks.
