Recycling Yard Waste

Recycling Your Yard Waste

It wasn’t too long ago that people use to take their yard waste to a landfill and throw it in with the rest of the garbage. Unfortunately, this had the predictable effect of filling up the landfill with dirt, grass and other materials that had no business being in there and that displaced space that could have been used for materials that needed to be protected within a proper landfill. Today, yard waste is recycled. There are many different ways that this is done, but most of them involve creating a community compost pile.

DIY

You can easily recycle your own yard waste. If you have a small yard and only produce minimal lawn clippings and other debris during the year, you can simply build a compost container of your own and put that waste in the container. The container can be just about anything; many people use untreated wooden pallets to create their compost container. The compost will eventually form out of the yard waste and you can use it to spread on your lawn to get better growth or you can use it to spread on your garden to get better food. Either way, recycling yard waste is great for keeping space available in landfills.
