Composting is one of the variety of ways of doing this. With in- • ciein d promotion, many people are realizing that composting is one sane way of stopping organic waste from going to thelandf-ill, and re- ducing the amount of waste at the curb. requiring the $2 stickers. Home composters are not equipped to handle large amounts of yard and garden waste, which is why the town has incorporated a munici- pal composting program into special large garbage pickups. Remem- ber that anything recyclable such ascardboard, or compostable (grass and leaves) will not be collected for spacial pickup. • Wood and branch trimmings, hedge trimmings and plant stocks are all accepted for special large garbage pickup in October and No- vember of this year. These are allcompostable materials but they do take a long time to decompose beeline of the size and texture. Ac- cordingly. a wood chipper was purchased by the town (and the PUC) to be used to reduce the volume thereby speeding the process of corn - posting. • Leaves are another bulky organic product that is collected by the town but not with large garbage pickup. Leaves are great for mulches in gardens and can be used in home composters. However, if there are too many leaves to contend wit;;, u,y may be more of a nuisance. If leaves are raked to the curb, not bagged, they will be collected in the fall by the Town for central composting. • Grass clippings will not be picked up any longer. Grasscycling is a new word for an old concept. Grass clippings can be used in home composters. However, the ideal answer is to leave the clippings on the lawn. They contain nitrogen, which is one of the helpful ingre- dients for a healthy lawn. Next weeks article will be about home composting.
