Find LocallyLeaves, grass clippings and tree trimmings account for nearly 20% of the waste that ends up in landfills. But composting and mulching is a natural way to recycle and give back to your land. It’s a great supplement to fertilizer.
Composting takes less effort than bagging up all that yard refuse. You can also compost other organic materials like vegetable peelings, coffee grounds and rotted sawdust. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs offers a free how-to brochure on home composting.
