leaves. Please be prepared to show a Riverside Recycling Facility e-card to
the attendant. If you do not have an e-card, you will be required to pay.
Also note, all bags of leaves must be emptied at Riverside Recycling
Facility

Don’t just dump it! Are you thinking: It’s just leaves and grass, who’s
going to care?
Think again. Dumping leaves and grass into drainage ditches, brooks, or
wetlands can cause flooding, smother the vegetation that stabilizes stream
banks and contribute to water pollution. And it’s illegal to boot! So be
eco-friendly and either compost that yard waste or bring it on out to the
Riverside Recycling Facility. Our streams and wetlands thank you!
