Noun. [B2]

Examples

“I’m ticked off at my neighbor who does his yard work the day after yard-trash day. Then he leaves his black plastic bags out in the yard for six days until the next pickup. Have some consideration for the others in your neighborhood.”

“Yard-trash day is the biggest nightmare. When they dump the buckets and the barrel, a third goes into the back of the truck, a third falls onto the ground and the last third is left inside the barrel, which is turned upside down, so that we are left with two-thirds of the trash we put out for pickup.”

“Yep, if you want to remove a native healthy specimen of a tree, you had better get a permit to do so – or face a fine from the county. Often, I have seen some green viable pines waiting for the solid-waster to pick up on yard-trash day and wonder if that person has removed that tree illegally without a permit.”
