Yard Waste
Use a lawn mower with a mulching blade to recycle grass
clippings back into your lawn. Mulching returns nutrients to your
soil, helps retain soil moisture, and keeps waste out of the
landfill.
If you choose not to mulch, grass clippings can be composted or
disposed of with your trash. The Ada County Landfill employs a
methane recapture system to generate electricity and provide power
to thousands of local homes. The presence of yard waste and other
organic material in the landfill actually facilitates the
generation of gas and more electricity.
