I'm under the impression that burnable waste gets burned, whereas the plastic, etc. gets dumped in landfills.<BR/><BR/>What do they do with "yard debris"?

All food refuse either has to go into the trash, or if you are able to, into your own composting heap.

When I went back to visit relatives in the Midwest, I kept unconsiously cleaning and prepping the stuff they thought was "garbage" because I'm so in the habit of recycling.
