As you begin that work, remember that you can drop off your logs, slash, and timber at a Community Forestry Sort Yard for free. There, all that biomass will be mulched and sent to several compost facilities. Logs will be ground and used for biomass fuel in one the two biomass facilities in the county.<\/p>\n<p>Besides woody materials, we accept pine needles and noxious weeds. Removing pine needles and cones from around your home is an important part of maintaining defensible space. And, removing some of your noxious weeds every season helps keep weeds in check on your land.<\/p>\n<p>All new Sort Yard users will need to complete a short registration form before unloading, and contractors must provide client\u2019s name and physical address where biomass came from.<\/p>\n<p>This is the 14th season that the Sort Yards have accepted Boulder County woody biomass. Last year, you and your neighbors dropped off approximately 1,612 tons. That\u2019s a lot of biomass!<\/p>\n<h2>Sort Yards Are Education Hubs<\/h2>\n<p>Besides a place for foothills residents to bring their woody biomass, this county program provides information about forest health, defensible space, and other forestry management practices in an online monthly newsletter.
