Plastic bags must be tied and placed in the poly-cart and should not weigh more than 50 lbs.   Any trash left outside the poly-cart will not be picked up.    The last pick up of the month and only the last pick up of the month you may place as many as 10 additional bags or other trash receptacles to be picked up next to your polycart (s).
