Fall River is built on hills: triple-deckers with small front and side yards, steep banks that are hard to mow, and landlords who need the yard kept up without being there.
Fall River's yard waste goes in city yard waste carts (Capitol Waste Services handles repairs) or to the Lewiston Street drop-off. In Massachusetts, phosphorus can only go on a lawn when a soil test shows a need or when seeding, and never on frozen, saturated or dormant turf.
