Landscape Waste Prevention

Resource-Efficient Landscape Management

Initially, the purpose of all CIWMB projects was to target regions in California generating the most grass, develop regional grasscycling promotional campaigns, and have at least one-half of the jurisdictions in the regions participating in the campaigns. Projects have now expanded to include targeting urban communities and commercial landscapers who generate large amounts of green waste refuse.

The Board has supported a variety of projects to encourage residents and professional landscapers to use resource-efficient landscaping practices to reduce green waste, conserve water, and minimize non-point source pollution from urban landscapes.
