We have yard waste collected with our weekly garbage pickup. Separate huge bin. It goes to a place where they compost everything. Of course, there's a fee for that and a fee to buy it back as compost - but it's rich & te garden loves it. Maybe your local refuse agency can start one, if there's enough community interest. Here's ours.. https://cedar-grove.com/
@CindyMc @San_Ban I wish it was that easy where we live. In the middle of a housing estate the deer are very few and far between 😞 . I wish I could say different. You are very lucky by the sounds of it
