Yard Waste
The best and easiest option in many cases is to just leave your yard waste alone! Mow over leaves to mulch them, and avoid bagging grass clippings unless you plan to use them as compost.
For yard waste you are not equipped to compost yourself, Topeka has two yard material composting/recycling facilities:
Material disposed at these facilities is processed for compost, turned into woodchips, or used for energy at the Frito Lay plant.

Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support verified projects that remove carbon from the air.
Every delivery’s carbon footprint is calculated based on weight, shipping method, and distance traveled. We neutralize these emissions by purchasing verified carbon removal credits from groundbreaking projects.
With your purchase, you’ll join a community of proactive merchants and customers dedicated to a sustainable future. Together, we've removed emissions for over 81 million deliveries and removed over 56 thousand tonnes of carbon.
We work with a network of pioneering carbon removal companies that have been vetted by the commerce platform Shopify.
