Alternatives to Burning

Whenever possible, shredding, chipping and/or composting is a desirable alternative to burning. Chippers and shredders can be rented by the day, week or month at your neighborhood rental agencies. Composting can be successfully completed in your own backyard with minimal investment for its great returns.

For more information on composting:

Contact the Forsyth County Environmental Affairs Department or the Cooperative Extension Service at (336) 703-2850.
Download the bulletin from the N.C. Cooperative Extention Service: "COMPOSTING - A Guide to Managing Organic Yard Wastes".
