Leaf Collection
NO GRASS clippings are collected at any time. Carnegie Public Works collects leaves at the curbside during the months of October and November. During this time the Borough will not pick up yard waste at the curb. All other months, residents may place bagged yard waste at the curb but only in proper bags. No loose material will be taken.
Plastic bags or sacks are acceptable containers provided the bags are designated for waste disposal. Plastic bags must be strong enough to maintain physical integrity when lifted by the top, shall be securely tied at the top for collection, and a capacity of not more than 30 gallons or loaded weight of not more than 35 pounds. Yard waste shall be drained free of liquids before being placed in proper bags. NO garbage or other putrid waste can be included. Bags must be securely wrapped or properly tied.
