Reducing the amount of waste generated begins at home with easy choices for taking care of your yard.

• Composting:

Leaves, grass clippings, weeds, prunings, dead flowers and ash from burnt wood can be composted... not only to reduce yard waste, but to nourish your landscaping. Composted materials provide important nutrients for soil and plants.

• Don’t Bag It:

You’ll save time mowing when you don’t bag your clippings. The grass clippings will keep your lawn moist and green by recycling nutrients.
