*ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY LEAF DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES
Mulching and composting are the most economical and environmentally beneficial methods to deal with collected leaves.
Collected leaves can be slowly added to your home compost. They break down into useful organic material that can be added to home landscaping projects.
Mulching leaves with a lawn mower or other device will reduce the volume of the leaf pile for home storage or composting. Also simply mowing your leaves, in a dry condition, right on the lawn will add the organic material directly to your lawns.
Leaves, although bulky when first raked, will compost well over winter. To the extent possible, please compost leaves at home. Make sure the leaves are moist. It also helps to mix in some fruit and vegetable scraps.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED CO-OPERATION WITH THIS PROGRAM
