Together, Houston city leaders and the Living Earth team are creating a best-in-the-country model for organic recycling programs. Since the program inception in 2010, Living Earth has received and composted 151,800 tons of the City’s yard trimmings. For soil with tight clay structure, the expanded shale introduces air to improve soil porosity and drainage. Used at varying depths (3 inches to 2 feet), the planting mix provides valuable, naturally occurring minerals and nutrients vital to planting success.

In April 2010, the City implemented a change to residential yard waste collection, eliminating petroleum-based yard bags, and requiring the strict use of certified compostable bags. Use our Specialty Planting Mix with Shale for planting perennials, trees and shrubs. The bagged product packaging provides an environmental message to the consumer.Įxpanding on the success of the tree waste recycling program, the City of Houston partnered with Living Earth to develop solutions to divert City residential yard trimmings - grass clippings, leaves, plant trimmings - from landfills. The Company developed Houston Mulch™ which is sold locally in bulk and in bags. From April 2009 to December 2019, Living Earth has received and recycled 425,232 tons of tree debris from Houston’s residential curbside collection program. Living Earth secured its first contract to manage tree debris for the City in May 2008. The materials are recycled and composted. The materials are recycled and composted to manufacture environmentally beneficial mulches, compost, and soil products. To improve soil properties, Living Earth Technology provided 60 cubic yards of composted greenwastes to be incorporated into the northeast corner (300 feet long. Living Earth partnered with the City of Houston to sustainably manage the Citys residential tree and yard waste.
