Yard waste refers to organic materials that come from gardens and lawns, such as grass clippings, leaves, branches, and small plants. This type of waste is often generated during routine yard maintenance, like mowing the lawn or trimming bushes. Instead of throwing it away, many communities encourage recycling yard waste to reduce landfill use and promote composting. Composting yard waste can create nutrient-rich soil for gardens, benefiting plants and the environment. Some local governments provide special bins or collection services for yard waste, making it easier for residents to dispose of it responsibly. By recycling yard waste, we can help keep our neighborhoods clean and green.
