Wood Chips
Wood chips are not colored or processed beyond shredding.
Wood chips are useful to retain moisture in flower and garden beds. They also suppress the growth of unwanted weeds when applied over the topsoil.
Food Waste
Food waste should be composted first and kept out of the regular trash and garbage disposal. Composting food waste conserves water versus using the garbage disposal. Old produce and vegetables can be composted at home or with the Agency. Find out all the details in the Food Waste page.
