Invasive Weeds – What can you do?
It is illegal to put any other yard waste e.g. leaves, branches, grass cuttings, etc. in landfills.
Steps for disposal
-
Put them in a clear plastic bag
-
Label bag "invasive plants- approved by WI DNR for landfilling"
-
Set in your curbside garbage bin
Invasive weeds should not be composted. Home compost piles do not get hot enough for a long enough time to destroy the seeds of these plants!
For more information on handling invasive weeds, see the DNR website on Invasive Plants.
