[Rubbish which] consists of prunings, grass clippings, weeds, leaves, and garden wastes...Yard rubbish--essentially a part of combustible rubbish--is defined separately because cities frequently make different arrangements for its collection and disposal...

OBS

for "garden waste" : "Garden waste(s)/refuse" is usually considered a part of "yard rubbish" although the terms are sometimes used synonymously. Whether synonymous or not, however, both terms correspond to "résidus de jardin", as "jardin" can include the concept of both "garden" and "yard".
