Grass Bag Flag Program

(August 2004) Shaker residents place their grass clippings in specially marked Shaker bags that are picked up on regular rubbish collection days.  On any given collection day, separate grass crews go to every home on the route, finding bags at only 25% of the homes. To make the pickup more efficient, a program has been designed to flag the homes with bags.

A special door hanger will be displayed outside on a door or railing when grass bags are in the yard for pickup. This will enable crews to deliver prompt service when needed and avoid unnecessary backyard trips. The City will test the program in a few neighborhoods from September 1 through October 15.
