What to put in the blue carts?

Please note New Ordinance:

To reduce litter in your neighborhoods, Conway requires SMALL OR LIGHTWEIGHT items either be stacked inside each other, bundled/tied, bagged, etc. (anyway to keep items from blowing), before placing in the blue carts. Large cardboard boxes that are too big for the blue cart, should placed three feet from the cart and secured to avoid blowing. Try this drop test...

Drop Test for small and lightweight items:

If, when you drop an item, it floats, flutters or bounces, the item should be secured before going in the blue cart; you may do that in anyway you want to, to prevent blowing litter.

Examples include plastic soda bottles; grocery bags; aluminum cans; any small items including small pieces of cardboard; paper ... especially shredded paper; newspapers - , inserts, etc
