Composting: Even with a small yard you can get started by using a compost bin or by making a compost mix with your used coffee grounds and eggshells and adding this to potted plants, small beds, and gardens.

The more you can put back into your yard from the kitchen, the better your garden, flowers and veggies will be.

No compost area? You can still make a difference by requesting a green waste bin from your waste management company and they will pick it up for processing.
