    So this weekend I installed a new lawn at my house my self. I had 77 bags of yard waste. I only filled the bags half way to make sure they were not to heavy.

    Anyhow I thought, gee, that's a lot of waste I don't want them saying "Nope" and driving on by.

    So what I did, was I had a $25.00 gift card to Domino's Pizza and I took the gift card and put it in an envelope in a plastic bag and taped it between two snow plow marker polls which I put in front of some of the lawn bags, that way when the man came he was able to get a little prize for taking the yard waste and not just driving by. I think that was good, because all my yard waste was gone and he got $25.00 gift card to Domino's out of it.

    Do you guys ever get tipped or gift cards around Christmas time or a little extra if someone has a wee bit much of lawn waste?

    That was very cool of you to only fill the bags halfway, and to leave the gift card. If I ever had to put out that much waste I would definitely do the same thing, because that's a lot more work at one stop than the guys normally deal with.
