HIGH POINT, N.C. — The city of High Point is doing away with plastic yard waste bags!
Starting July 1, the city said that High Point citizens will be required to dispose of yard waste with either a city-approved rollout bin, paper bags, or secured bundles weighing no more than 50 lbs and not exceeding a length of 4 ft.
Don't panic though, the city specified there would be a grace period until Sept. 1 for citizens to get used to the new yard waste system.
Until then, any citizen using a plastic bag will be issued a warning and not a fine until Sept. 1, said the city.
