GREENSBORO, N.C. — The city of Greensboro will provide a modified yard waste collection service to residents every other week beginning Monday. The modified service will adhere to social distancing guidelines by having one employee per truck instead of two, the city said. Residents are asked to limit their yard waste to 10 bags, bundles or cans. The city asks that residents keep bundles and limbs to five feet or under, and cans and bags to less than 50 pounds.
