"Yard Trimmings", leaves, grass, and brush are managed
separately at the Transfer Station. "Tub grinders" are
used to mix and grind the "yard trim" material. Ground
tree limbs and brush used to create mulch, which is
given away for free to commercial vendors and to citizens.
This free mulch is available at Neighborhood
Mulch Preserves located at the Recycling Center
and at satellite sites around the County. Ground yard
trim is transported by rail or truck to the Dickerson
Composting Facility, where it is composted and screened
to produce Leafgro, a high quality soil conditioner.
A portion of the leaves collected by the County under
its Curbside Leaf Vacumming Program are deposited at
the Transfer Station and shipped via truck to the compost
facility.
