Proper disposal of yard waste plays an important role in protecting our environment. When organic debris is disposed of incorrectly, it can contribute to clogged storm drains, water pollution, and localized flooding.
At Kurtz Bros., we make yard waste drop‑off simple and accessible for homeowners, contractors, and municipalities. Organic materials collected at our facilities are responsibly processed and repurposed through our waste‑to‑resource operations.
Yard waste may be dropped off at any participating Kurtz Bros. store or production location for a nominal fee.
