ALTERNATIVES TO
LEAF BURNING
Here are some alternatives to leaf burning
which should be considered.
1. Bag leaves in biodegradable paper bags,
or label a reusable container with a yard waste sticker, available at the
Village Hall. Palos Park™s contract with Allied Waste Services includes
the disposal of yard
waste.
2. Use a shredding lawn mower to shred
leaves. These can remain on the lawn and the pieces will disappear and not
contribute to thatch build up. These shredded leaves can also be added to
mulch beds
