- HAUL IT!
Rake up your excess material and haul it to your nearest Recycling/Transfer
Station.
|
- COMPOST IT!
Composting yard and garden waste protects our air, land and
water resources while providing a rich garden fertilizer. "How
to Compost" workshops are held free for the public throughout
the Spring.
|
- CHIP IT!
Some residents are choosing to chip their debris. Chippers may
be rented or a chipping service hired to take care of your material.
Wood chips make excellent mulch around trees and shrubs and
can also be used to soften garden paths.
|
- MULCH IT!
By mulching, we can easily put nature’s recycling system to
work in our own backyard. Spread yard and garden debris around
shrubs, trees, and other plantings. Mulching keeps the soil
loose and moist, smothers weeds, prevents soil loss and releases
nutrients as it decomposes.
|
- RECYCLE IT!
"Grasscycling" utilizes a special mulching lawn mower designed
to chop the grass finely and return the clippings to the soil.
Grass clippings break down quickly into a natural fertilizer
and will not cause thatch. Consider updating to a mulching mower
to eliminate the need for grass clipping disposal.
