“Charleston County Council agreed Thursday to prohibit yard waste from arriving at Bees Ferry Landfill in plastic bags, essentially banning the use of plastic leaf bags throughout the county.” – article this week from the Post and Courier
Essentially, this exciting bag ban in Charleston, South Carolina, diverts biodegradable yard waste from existing in a mummified state in the county landfill. The county plans to compost these yard cuttings and sell them as mulch and soil amendments.
Encourage your local government to provide a composting area for yard waste in your area!
