Unless you have a large inventory of separate clear bags

The brochure says that any color bag is acceptable...

The brochure doesn't give a start date. I've heard Oct 1, and I've heard Oct 3...

Did you ever try to put yard waste in a plastic bag. Bags are smaller and will not stand up to sticks and branches. If I am missing something relating to plastic bags, be nice and let me know

Good point. The guidelines don't mention the word "plastic," so maybe they won't mind picking up a brown paper bag. Or you could wrap the sharp sticks in newspaper like they say to do with glass, and tie the bundle. A good use for "The Daily Sun."

So, now we will have to pay for a bulk pickup request. $10 per pickup.

You will LOVE this one. I too felt as you do, WHEN am I going to find out the details ? Well, yesterday I DID ! In my utility bill for North Sumter, I got a pamphlet, white with green print. Title: Curbside Residential Sanitation Collection Information.

It contained some much needed details, I'll hand that to them. It reminded people that there will now be a $10 charge for the bulk, or oversized, pickups we used to just call for at no charge. It listed all things that will no longer be picked up at all: medical waste, paint, needles, etc. etc. And, it listed every area of the villages and the new pick up DAYS for each village. For instance, my days have changed from Tu. and Fri. to Mon. & Th., however, the one thing not mentioned anywhere is a DATE.

It simply said to call 352-748-0109 for that information, or any other details, for Marion, Sumter, and The Villages of Fruitland Park. It also gives instructions on how to get information if you live the Town of Ladylake part of the Villages (Lake County) and asks that you call (352) 787-4416.

Again Nothing in the brochure concerning date, only gives phone numbers if you want that information.

For Lake County villagers who are NOT within the Town of Ladylake portion, it gave this number:
(352) 343-3776

I would think they are planning to begin this sometime in Oct., or perhaps, maybe it will just begin for the new year on Jan. 1, 2021 maybe ?

Yeah once or twice in 68 years. And yes, plastic bags suck for sticks. You don’t have to bag this, they will pick them up as is. Tie them into a bundle to make is easier for the workers.

The 2 pages of info. that has been out for some time and is linked in this thread a few times says nothing about using plastic for yard waste. You can read it if you have more questions. Here is some of what it says:

"Tree limbs or branches may not exceed 4’ in length, 4”
in diameter, or exceed 40 pounds. Bundle and tie such
materials and place them at the end of your driveway.
Lawn clippings and similar yard waste should be placed
in bags. "

Around my neighborhood we were all wondering when it will begin. We did get notified in the mail of all the details, how our days were changing, but no mention anywhere when we were supposed to start changing to our new days is all ! ? Seems every county and even two different portions of Lake county, all different rules, days, numbers to call, and none of the mailing have any dates ?

Lazy people have been mixing it for years. My neighbors never put out anything but black trash bags that include dog and cat poop

On the last Costco run to Winter Park I bought enough paper yard waste bags for a YEAR. Are those all useless now ? Or, can I still use them for yard waste and put out with all the rest ? Probably not ! Suppose now I have a year's supply of what ? Help, suggestions ? Plant covers in case we get some cold nights this year ? That would use of a half dozen or so I guess. Oh, maybe as LINERS for inside the big black plastic bags so the sticks do not go through the plastic as easily ?
