Palm Beach County residents have gotten a refresher on yard waste disposal courtesy of local officials.

Marino, rolled out guidelines to maintain the tidiness and efficiency of local yard debris collection. Citizens are encouraged to adhere to the 6/6/50 rule when preparing yard waste for pickup—branches should be cut into sections no longer than 6 feet, no wider than six inches in diameter, and each piece should weigh no more than 50 pounds, as per the Palm Beach County Government’s website.
