Yard waste recycling grows at steady clip in Lawrence
Lawrence residents continue curbside yard waste recycling as city crews resumed weekly collection March 1. Last year 7,800 tons of grass clippings and leaves went to the composting facility producing soil for city projects. The program aims to cut landfill use and maintain a 30 percent recycling rate. Woody material is chipped for mulch, and old appliances can be picked up by calling 832-3022. Mangerich urges use of compostable bags and mowing leaves to mulch.
