If you have a home, yard, or garden, chances are you have a green waste bin. If so, you are part of a system that recycles yard waste into mulch, keeping all the nutrients out of the landfill. And if you generate yard waste but don't have a green bin, what are you waiting for?

Find out all the details about Yard Waste Recycling and your Green bin!

This section also includes other organic wastes. Essentially, if it was once a tree or other plant, there are better ways to dispose of it than sending it to the landfill. This section will show you how.
