- Composting is the best way to manage yard waste, and in fact, Massachusetts bans the disposal of leaves and yard waste in landfills.
- By reducing the disposal of banned materials, we also capture valuable resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save energy, and reduce our need for landfills and incinerators.
