To get started – yard waste only
- Locate the pile or bin at least 2 feet from any building, fence, or other structure
- Make sure you have both fresh (green) and dry (brown) plant material
- Build the pile
- Start with sticks and branches, to provide some aeration at the base
- Alternate layers of green and brown
- End with a brown layer
- Turn the pile as needed to ensure aeration
