Westlake Rules: Grass Clippings Go In Paper Bags Only
Westlake City Council approved an administration plan requiring homeowners to use 2 ply natural paper bags for grass clippings after May 1. Grass clippings in metal or plastic containers without liner bags will be collected. Plastic bag use will trigger crew action and personal instruction, with possible penalties though enforcement is unlikely. The city aims to compost clippings at Bassett Road and reduce landfill waste, aligning with state yard waste bans starting December 1993. Bag costs are 30 to 50 cents. 30 gallon bags will be sold locally.
