The city here doesn’t give the options for bins.
If people compost, they must build it themslves.
Leaf compost isn’t allowed at all. Why food, etc., is allowed out, and lawn clippings that smell when damp, great- but not leaves- ???? Go figure.
They collect leaves, branches, etc.: 3 ‘free’ leaf pickups if raked to curbs. Fall schedule. After, everything the rest of the year can only be placed in these $ bags. No other bag-types will be collected. Sticks, branches, etc., trimmed and contained within these same purchased brown paper bags.
Every trash bag for refuse is $2.75 for a sticker. ( you supply the type of bags, plastic bags, etc.)
I put one sticker on the top of the trash can. If they would like to dig through to decide which trash bag to take, go for it. They usually take the whole can.
It was a great suburb to live here way back. Now? Not so much. These are just the tip of the iceburg of rules. It is utopia for perfectionists and those with OCD, like Snookums next door.
