Let’s Compost Together for a Greener Spring Valley!
Hello Spring Valley Residents!
We have an important request that will make a big difference for our community and the environment. 
It’s time to embrace sustainable practices and show our love for our beautiful city.
Regarding yard waste and branches, we would like to ask you to use lawn bags instead of tossing them directly into the plastic dumpsters. Why, you ask? Well, here’s the scoop:
Composting Benefits: By separating your yard waste, you’re helping us turn it into nutrient-rich compost. This compost will contribute to healthier soil and gardens, making Spring Valley even more vibrant and green!
Environmental Impact: When yard waste is mixed with regular garbage, it often ends up in landfills. But when we compost, we reduce landfill waste and minimize harmful greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a small step for you, but a giant leap for the Earth!
Community Pride: Spring Valley is known for its community spirit. Let’s come together to ensure we do our part for a cleaner and more sustainable future. Separating your yard waste is a simple way to demonstrate our collective commitment to our city.
So, here’s your action plan:
+Bag It: Use lawn bags for your yard waste and branches.
+Separate: Keep yard waste out of the plastic dumpsters.
+Compost: Help us create nutrient-rich compost for our city’s benefit.
Remember, every little action adds up. Let’s make Spring Valley an example of how a small change can make a big impact. Thank you for your cooperation and for being stewards of our beautiful city.
Together, we can keep Spring Valley green and clean!
