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.
