Don’t trash your spring yard waste! Leaf It With Us!

Starting April 9, 2010, residents can recycle their spring yard waste by dropping it off at any of the Leaf It With Us depots. It will be composted into a reusable soil-like material and used to landscape finished landfill areas.

The depots accept leaves, lawn thatch, grass clippings, tree clippings, small branches, plants, flowers, and other garden material. They do not accept sand, street sweepings or animal waste.
