Did you know? The Michigan Legislature enacted Public Act 264 which, as of March 28, 1995, prohibits yard clippings from being disposed in landfills or municipal solid waste incinerators.

Yard clippings/waste is defined to mean leaves, grass clippings, vegetable or other garden debris, shrubbery, or brush or tree trimmings less than four feet in length and two inches in diameter that could be converted to compost.

Diverting yard waste from landfill disposal conserves landfill space, reduces landfill methane emissions and converts organic material into compost for enhancing soils.
