"Leaves
may be bagged. or can be vacuumed as loose leaves. Loose leaves must be within three feet of the curb.
Pine needles and grass clippings do not vacuum well and should be bagged.
Tree limbs under 6 inches in
diameter may be placed at the curb with the cut end toward the street. The resident must dispose of limbs
that are over the
6 inch limit. All yard waste generated by a professional business, must be disposed of by the
entity."
NOTE: Due to the size of the
city and the time involved in removing the large volumes of yard waste generated, it takes several weeks for the department
to cover the entire city.
"Yard waste
(leaves, limbs and grass clippings) will continue to be picked up at no charge to the resident. Due to
the large number of citizens using this service, collection may take what seems to be a long time. The
Street Department will cover every street in the city until reaching the beginning point where the route starts over.
If a citizen places their waste at the curb just after the crew has gone by, there will be what seems to be a long
wait until they return. The City of Heber Springs is one of the very few cities in the state that has a
continual yearlong yard waste removal program at no charge to the residents."
