Tips for Going Green:
Recycle those Leaves

18% of the waste that the average family in the US produces comes from the garden. This debris makes up the bulk of the garbage delivered from homes into the landfill during the fall. Composting is the most eco-friendly way to deal with the leaves and plant debris from the garden. If you don't compost at home, make sure to give the garden waste to the city for composting, instead of just throwing it away.
