WHO: Residents living within the city limits of St. Charles will be eligible 
to participate in a one‐time, Free Yard Waste Pick‐Up Day for Spring 2010. The 
service, to be provided by Allied Waste Services and paid for by the city, will be 
available to area residents living in single family units. There will be no cost for 
area residents.

WHAT: In order to participate in the planned pick‐up day, residents must
 have their yard waste placed at the curb by 6 a.m., and observe the following 
yard waste guidelines:

• Yard waste with trash mixed in cannot be collected.

• Loose yard waste must be bagged in standard 32‐gallon PAPER yard waste
bags or placed in designated 32‐gallon or smaller yard waste cans or
 placed in Allied yard waste carts.

• YARD WASTE IN PLASTIC BAGS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED.

• Yard waste carts are to be used for yard waste only.

• Customer‐owned containers used for yard waste should be marked with 
the letter "X" or the words "Yard Waste Only."
• NOTE: Any household not having yard waste material properly bundled or 
bagged and at the curbside when Allied appears in the route area, will not be
 serviced, and will be responsible for purchasing yard waste tags in order to
 receive services on the subsequent Wednesday.

WHERE & WHEN: City of St. Charles – single family units within the city limits.
            

• Wednesday, April 28

ALSO: Tree limbs and branches less than six inches (6") in diameter must
 be tied (with twine, no wire) in bundles no bigger than four feet (4') long by
 twenty‐four inches (24") in diameter; however, no bundle is to weigh more than
