In 2002 the state of Ohio banned yard waste from landfills. This happened for several reasons.
* Yard waste is easy to recycle into mulch and compost
* Yard waste decomposes at a rapid rate. That was a problem for landfills because rapid decomposition creates methane gas
* Solid Waste districts were assigned the task of reducing the amount of trash their residents were throwing away.
Richland County Solid Waste opened a compost Facility to help residents of Richland County to recycle their yard waste.
