The Biodegradable Yard Waste Bag Giveaway at Worthdale Park Community Center is a city-sponsored drive-by event where Raleigh residents can collect five free paper yard waste bags. What to Know: This event is entirely free and open to all Raleigh residents. There is no minimum age, but this is primarily a quick errand for parents. If you bring your toddlers along, plan to spend some time at the adjacent playground after you grab your bags. This is a smart weekday stop because it helps you prep your yard for fall leaf season without spending extra money at the home improvement store. Plus, you can get direct answers from city staff about the new weekly yard waste pickup schedule.
