GREEN WASTE WCA`s commitment to he a socially responsible corporate partner to our customers and communities is exemplified in our Recycling Program. With the steadily -increasing concern for the ecological health of our communities, WCA has embarked an a landfill diversion process where all material is taken to recycling facilities where it is used in the production of sail amendments. We are committed to taking all recyclable materials removed from the trams trimmed for the duration of this praject to a recycling center for processing. Verification of amounts recycled will be obtained and reported by WCA via ArborAccess for the purpose of meeting the goals of the State for reducing landfill usage. should be spread an the ground at rate of six to twelve inches for best effect. Fresh mulch will depleto nitrogen from the surface of the sail which will reduce unwanted weeds, Once the mulch has decayed, it returns nitrogen which helps build the quality of soil for plants. A large amount of true debris is processed by WCA and used in large scale mulching projects for establishing native plants in open space areas. COMPOST is made from fine ground branches, leaves or other organic material. When mixed with oxygen and water, the organic material will decay or "compost:." A finished compost is excellent for turning into the top layer of sail and will add nitrogen and Increase the water holding capacity of sail. You can make compost at home in a pile in your yard or in a bin that you make or purchase. Large scale composting is done at regional recycling facilities, FIREWOOD is traditionally the most common use of large branches and lags. Firewood is used to heat homes during winter months.
