Green waste stays as your waste unless you ….

Green waste remains   on your property as your waste unless you …. follow the rules. The Santa Cruz County company,   Greenwaste Recovery Inc,   says:  You must put your “green” yard debris   into GREEN bio-degradable bags — not plastic bags  — and those green  biodegradable bags  must weigh less than 50 pounds.   Those are the garbage company’s  rules.  For a mere $4.00 per bag Greenwaste  will take plastic bags as “garbage”.  Does the garbage company supply the appropriate bags? No – you buy them.  Ace Hardware in the Rancho del Mar shopping center in  Aptos carries 5 bags for $3.49 that hold 30 gallon and are for composting.  These  are heavy duty paper bags.  Looking on the internet for bio-degradable bags …..  Where does Santa Cruz county green waste go?  Elsewhere!      written by Cameron Jackson
