About Nokomis' Casey Key

Yard Waste – From Trees to Dirt

According to “Don” – one of the employees at the Sarasota County Recycling Center, this is what happens to yard waste when it is turned from trees to dirt.

As private and public contractors; as well as homeowners enter the recycling center at 4000 Knights Trail Road, Nokomis, FL 34275 with their waste, their vehicles are weighed on a scale entering and leaving. The difference in weight (the yard waste) is currently charged a rate of $41.37 per ton, or a little more than 2 cents per pound. Yard waste is always separated from construction waste, and general garbage.

When piles are sufficiently large enough, a Vermeer Horizontal grater is brought in to break down larger pieces to no more than a 6 inch diameter sieve size.

This product is then used for one of three purposes.

1.To daily cover the landfill area (garbage) to keep the presence of animals, birds, and smell to a minimum.

2.Sent to power plants for fuel to be converted into energy.

3.Made available for free mulch or dirt.

If you live in Florida, you know that from Tampa southward (about the lower half of the State) the elevation above sea level, especially close to the coasts, rarely exceeds 20 feet. Instead of burying garbage, it is mounded and daily covered so that we have man-made “mountains” of garbage rising as much as 100 feet above the surrounding elevation which are covered with mulch and dirt from the yard waste.
