There is no way not to have a small amount of dirt attached to grass cuttings. The bag weighed 15 pounds. 10% dirt and 90% grass. Should be good for a natural LANDFILL. Now I have to sweep it back up. So we pay for this...…….
He SCREAMED? ARE YOU SURE???? The folks who do that job always are very nice to us, and we appreciate them very much.

My husband puts out yard waste frequently. He trims the bushes all around our home as they grow practically in front of our eyes in this season. No problem, the big tall brown paper waste bags is what he uses...and a lot of them too. The folks who pick them up do not fuss at all.
