BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:

New changes are coming to trash pick up if you live outside of Tallahassee.

Leon County neighbors outside of city limits will no longer have to schedule for bulk trash pick up, like furniture.

The other change: yard debris must be put in paper bags or containers, not in plastic bags.

People may also notice a change on their monthly bill.

Neighbors will now pay $23 a month compared to $15 a month.

You will start to see those changes starting Sunday.
