What really happens to those bags of leaves after RI picks them up?

Have you ever wondered what happens to your lawn bags after they're picked up? Where do the grass clippings you empty from your lawnmower each summer and the leaves you rake every fall end up? It all ends up being turned into nutrient-rich compost that's reused to enrich gardens, sports fields and farms. But Rhode Island's cities and towns make that happen in different ways. A little over half of the 57,000 tons of yard waste collected by municipalities in the last fiscal year was handled on a local basis, according to data from the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corp. , the quasi-public agency that manages trash and recycling for the state. The rest ended up at Resource Recovery's composting facility next to the Central Landfill in Johnston . In the last fiscal year, Resource Recovery took in about 25,000 tons of leaves, grass and brush collected by communities. All the material that ends up there is fed into a giant grinder that chews it into a uniform size. It also mixes it together to get the right blend of plant-nourishing nutrients from carbon-rich leaves and high-nitrogen grass. All of it comes out the other side on a conveyor belt.
