It is time once again for the spring cleanup of your yard, so remember to first check with your municipal public works department to learn what types of yard waste (branches, leaves, brush, etc.) are acceptable in your local yard waste recycling program, if available. It is also important to know your municipality’s requirements on how yard waste should be prepared – loose at the curb versus bagged in biodegradable paper bags, acceptable branch length, possible need to secure branches in tied bundles, etc. Learn more about recycling at recycle.nj.gov.
