Did You Know?
The City of North Platte collects an
average 128 tons of yard waste per week from North Platte residents during the
months of April thru November. That’s an average of 256,000 pounds of yard
waste per week, or 8,704,000 pounds per year. This equates to an average 989
pounds (almost half a ton) per year from each resident that the City crews
collect from.
You, as a resident, could turn your yard
waste carts back to the City and save $3.00 per month for each yard waste cart
IF you took care of your own yard waste by mowing your grass with a
mulching-type mower and you composted other yard waste to make a usable soil
amendment for your lawn and garden. This could also save you in fertilizing and
watering costs.
If you do have excess yard waste, you can haul it yourself to the City’s
composting site and dump it free of charge. Call 535-6710 for directions to the composting site.
