About Yard Waste Recycling Recycling
Yard waste and wood recycling offers a sustainable way to manage organic materials, reducing landfill waste and contributing to healthier ecosystems.
Items such as grass clippings, leaves, branches, and untreated wood can be composted or processed into mulch and soil amendments. These recycled materials enrich the soil, support plant growth, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.
Proper recycling involves separating organic yard waste from treated or painted wood, which requires specialized disposal due to chemical contaminants. Many communities provide curbside collection programs for yard waste or have drop-off centers for larger items like tree branches.
By recycling yard waste and wood, households and businesses can play a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving landfill space, and promoting sustainable landscaping practices.
