Roscoe IL Resident Janesville, WI	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Nov 17, 2007 Composting is great for some. Buy stickers from Waste Management ($20 for a sheet of 10) to place on each 30-40 gallon container for pickup. Leaf bags from Home Depot or Menard's work, or you can use a large trash can marked with a large "X" to identify it as containing yard refuse. Burn 'em! Note to Renata... Couldn't tell you, as I don't know who you mean. I suspect you feel strongly about a lot of topics...
