Materials - Sustainable Landscapes

Goal: Manage resources and materials efficiently by reducing material needs, reusing materials generated onsite, and recycling materials as much as possible.

		Keep and reuse landscape by-products. For example, collect and shred leaves to use as mulch, and compost vegetative debris to mix into the soil and improve its structure.
			> Recycling Leaves
			> Yard Waste and Composting

		Select and use renewable, local, and/or low-energy input landscape materials. Avoid materials, products, and practices that are harmful to the environment.
