Yard work is in full swing this May in Pueblo, and that means bags of clippings, trimmed branches, and landscaping debris. But how you handle yard waste can make a big difference for your home—and the planet.
What Counts as Yard Waste?
- Grass clippings
- Leaves
- Tree branches and brush
- Small amounts of garden debris
Best Practices for Yard Waste Disposal
- Use biodegradable bags if possible.
- Bundle branches neatly, no longer than 4 feet.
- Don’t overfill your bin—loose debris can spill and delay pickup.
- Keep yard waste separate from regular trash and recyclables.
Why It Matters
Yard waste left in the trash adds to landfill volume and produces methane, a greenhouse gas. Composting or properly disposing of organic waste reduces this impact and helps enrich soil when processed.
