This year’s Leaf & Pumpkin Composting Program will run from September 25 to November 8.
During this program residents can recycle their bagged leaves and pumpkins by taking them to a leaf and pumpkin composting drop-off location. Composting leaves and pumpkins is an easy way to keep material out of the landfills and is one of the many ways people can reduce waste, reuse and recycle.
Brown bags are best!
Residents are encouraged to use paper yard waste bags, available at many local yard and garden retailers. They are:
1. Better for the environment
Because these bags are made of paper, they are completely compostable along with the leaves and pumpkins, leaving no waste behind. Plastic bags are not compostable and are unfit for recycling after the contents are removed, so all that plastic ends up in the landfill.
2. More efficient
City workers can put paper yard waste bags straight into the compost rows without the additional step of opening the bags and removing the contents.
