County: Help Reduce Contamination In Yard Trimming Carts
COUNTY News:
Los Alamos Environmental Services started the curbside yard trimming program in July of 2018. Since then, it has been very successful in collecting residential yard trimming.
About 4,788 or 69 percent of local residents have one-yard trimming cart at their residence. Environmental Services has collected 2,367 tons of residential brush since the start of the program.
The yard trimming material is collected and turned into mulch and sometimes into compost, but only if the material is clean.
The County relies on residents to use the yard trimming cart correctly and only place acceptable materials in the cart. This helps the County to produce a clean, quality mulch or compost product that can used for landscaping and gardening projects.
