Leaf & Yard Waste

Yard waste includes many natural things that decompose or break down to become a nutrient rich soil called "humus" or compost.  Examples of organics include the grass on your lawn, tree leaves, plant roots, stems, blooms and leaves from your garden flowers, fruit or vegetable plantings.

The District offers two composting sites, one is located by the ball fields in the Sparwood Heights, and the other is near the Fire Hall at the end of Englemann Spruce Drive.

Grasscycling is the natural recycling of grass by leaving clippings on the lawn when mowing. Grass clippings decompose quickly and release valuable nutrients back into the soil.  Many mowers also mulch leaves.  Use mulched leaves to your advantage and recycle those nutrients back into the soil.

NO household garbage or recyclables, branches or trees.
