Don’t worry though! We’ve got your back. 🤝 If you ask us, the morning rush hour on Metro beats being stuck in traffic any day!

Some of the leaves are brown. And the sky is kinda gray. Yard waste should only go in paper bags and/or the green curbside cart. Leaves in plastic bags can't be composted and won't be collected.

lots of filled yard waste bags and a green cart at the curb
