I agree that cities and towns can help with the problem including in the way they handle some of their trash. My brother lives in Summit, NJ and their dump not only handles the typical recycling, they also collect wood chips from tree trimming and make compost from bagged leaves. Then depositers can also make withdrawals of compost and chips for their gardens. Thank you very much for the link back to Sustainable Sites.

But I think it's going to take a long time until everyone's on the band wagon (unfortunately). What will help is more cities that reinforce this message. Things like providing cheap rain barrels, access to a city's excess Christmas tree mulch, etc. I think this is happening in the bigger cities but it certainly hasn't gotten to the small towns across the country.
