  • Green - Composting Leaves 
    Printer Friendly Version

    Thursday, Nov 5, 2009 @06:16pm EST

    Most of the leaves have fallen from area trees.  But, before you scoop them up consider a green alternative. 

    In upstate     New York, the town of Irondequoit has 15 thousand street trees and residents with tons of trees in their backyard.  They plan on doing something with the leaves. 

    They've got an area blocked off at     Camp Eastman. Residents can bring the leaves from their yard and drop them off. The town will then let the leaves turn to compost and give it back to the residents for their gardens.  Landfills really can't continue to maintain all those leaves in bags.  Most towns in the area have a plan. Some will even pick up your leaves. 

    It's best to check with your town or city if you are unsure what to do. But mainly, pick them up because they can cause a lot of problems.
