Manage at Home

Manage leaves, twigs, small branches, grass, and other yard debris in your yard. Pile leaves, sticks, stumps to provide wildlife/bird habitat and feed the soil. Dry leaves and grass are good carbon sources or "browns" for composting, making it happen faster. Learn about Backyard Composting.
