To reduce the amount of material going to landfills, several municipalities in Northampton County have constructed and operate yard waste facilities. Typically, municipal crews collect leaves and brush within the municipality on a seasonal basis and bring the materials to their yard waste facility for processing. Residents are also permitted to drop off these materials at the facility during posted hours of operation. Leaves are placed in windrows and allowed to compost.
The brushy material is ground into a wood mulch and allowed to cure. The resulting compost and wood mulch is then made available to the residents, thus completing the recycling loop. Most municipal yard waste programs are restricted to residents-only. If you are interested in what your municipality has to offer, contact them directly for information.
Please note: There may be fees associated with using municipal programs/sites to offset operating costs. 
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Section 902 Recycling Grants, offer support to qualifying municipalities to assist in creating and/or maintaining municipal yard waste programs and equipment.
