Leaf and yard waste represents a significant component of the municipal solid waste stream generated annually in Alberta. At the time of this report, about 25 per cent of this leaf and yard waste collected as part of the municipal solid waste stream is composted and the remainder landfilled. Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development's Leaf and Yard Waste Diversion Strategy recommends policy tools and options to divert leaf and yard waste away to beneficial use, such as composting.
