Many communities will let you use a container as long as it is clearly marked for yard waste, or is easy to see that it contains yard waste.

We are back to paper bags or containers.

Those bags have been sold since about ten years, and they close down and invade another country where they are not yet known. Those bags do degrade, but only if they are left out in the open, exposed to the elements, in particular to the UVA and UVB rays of sunshine. But if tehy are used in a landfill, or if they are covered as week later par another load of bags, bio-degradation never happens!!! And the governements are silent complices of the big plasic companies: They have been informed by university researchers years ago!!! And what about the basic material for these bags: All plastics have heavily poluting oil as their basic incredient, and those paperbags are made of paper contribute heavily to the gallopping deforestation -trees are getting scarcer and scarcer around the worldf - and so does our supply of clean air - trees inhale the carbon everyone is worried about and ethey exhale nice, clean oxigen. They also prevent inondations after heavy rain, as their roots, combined with the low vegetation that usually surrounds a tree, effectively retain the surplus water, and release it gradually over several weeks ”Bio-Bags” only ”SOUNDS” good, but in reality it is a nice, convenient way to make some money off honest, but gullable people.
