They never get out of there trucks to pickup garbage they spill why would he be concerned with whats in my container?

They do this to us also and have put holes in our garbage can twice.

It is against State Law for the Garbage company to mix leaves, sticks, and grass with the garbage.
These items have to be in a paper bag and could not be put out until after April 2nd per our contract.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. DPS is correct that it is a violation of state law to commingle yard waste with household waste. Yard waste must be placed in proper composting or yard waste containers and put out separately. If you have questions or need assistance with this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 793-1642.

Question has been answered.

So it's against the LAW to mix leaves and paper with plastic, glass, metal? Really! The question that wasn't answered was do they have the right to go through our garbage?

Yes, if it appears there are unauthorized or hazardous items in the trash.

I will try to remember to not mix harmless leaves with hazardous items like plastic. I don't want to slow down the breakdown of plastic products.
