OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — You set your leaves out to the curb, but do you ever wonder what happens next? It turns out the story takes a few years to fully unfold.
The leaves and yard waste are turned into compost, which will feed soil around Omaha and beyond.
Oma-Gro is sold throughout Nebraska and in Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. Proceeds from the sale go to support the composting program.
Omaha's six weeks of free yard waste collection continues through Dec. 2. During this time, paper yard waste bad will be collected and composted. Residents should set them out on trash day. Omahans won't need a sticker for the bags but they will need them for bundles of brush. Visit wasteline.org for sticker locations.
