Using the Green Container
The green organic waste container is for food scraps, food waste, food soiled paper, grass trimmings, yard trimmings, leaves, brush, branches smaller than 4-inches in diameter and 4-feet in length or shorter, and Christmas wreaths without decorations attached. DO NOT use the Green Organic Waste container for trash, pet waste, rocks or dirt or palm fronds as they will contaminate other recyclable organic waste. Cut palm fronds into a size that will fit into your BLACK trash container. Do not wrap fronds separately or leave them outside your container. Republic Services cannot pick them up unless they are cut to size and placed in the BLACK trash container.
