What is the best way to dispose of these? If I cut them down into managable lengths and tie them with twine, will our regular trash service take these? We're in Deluna (Sumter Co). Thanks in advance!
In my district debris cut 3 foot lengths max, tied in bundles not to exceed 40 pounds. When I took out holly bush that turned into tree. I cut branches off 1 foot lengths bagged in lawn waste bags. And cut big limbs stripped of branches in 3 foot length and tied off bundles. The trunks cut and laid them out at curve individually.

Side note; if you just bundle the branches depending on how long the lay the majority leaves will dry up and fall off leaving big mess.
