Practical Yard Waste Management Solutions
Did you know that, according to the EPA, yard waste makes up about 13% of all solid waste in landfills. You can help reduce the amount of yard waste you produce or transform it into fertilizer for your lawn or rich compost for your garden or flower beds.
Use a Mulching Mower
Instead of collecting lawn clippings in a bag or raking them up from the piles laying on the lawn, purchase a mulching mower. Mulching mowers break grass clippings and fallen leaves into tiny pieces which then can easily decompose into your lawn and feeding it.
Create a Compost Pile
There are inexpensive compost bins available at every gardening and home improvement center. If you have the space in your yard, you can even create a compost bin of your own to process food and yard waste.
Separate Yard Waste from All Other Waste
Another method to help manage yard waste is to avoid mixing your yard waste with your other trash. When yard waste is mixed with other types of household waste it can become toxic and produce methane gas. Many cities and municipalities have designated yard waste pick-up days.
