The Benefits of Recycling Include:
Annually YARDWORKS diverts millions of pounds, or, 100's of thousands of metric tons of recyclable waste from our landfills for use in our sustainable products.
Composting organic waste decreases the amount of methane gas generated and released from landfills, thus dramatically and significantly lowering our region's carbon footprint for everyone.
Dangerous organisms, harmful insects, and weed seeds are all minimized by composting due to the relatively high temperature at which our products are created which kills harmful bacteria such as E-Coli and Salmonella among many others.
Using compost based soil reduces water consumption because our soils absorb water easily, and are then engineered to drain well while retaining moisture for plant and microbiobial growth. It is estimated that 50% of the water used for irrigation during our summer months is wasted due run-off, evaporation, or overwatering. YARDWORKS PRO-SOIL products are created reduce the need for watering, and conserving water benefits our environment.
Utilizing and maintaining a healthy soil and garden can be as simple as starting with a quality composted soil such as our recycled PRO-SOIL, and then amending it periodically with nutrient rich organic Enviromulch. The blend of both living and dead organic matter in thse compost products supports the complex web of soil life, keeping your garden and crops fertile, vigorous, and healthy.
Because of the natural slow release of rich natural micro-nutrients in our PRO-SOIL, and the greatly minimized weed sources, our organic sustainable products dramatically reduce the need for harsh, costly non-environmentally friendly chemical fertilizers and herbicides, which benefits us all in both the short and longterm.
