I wonder what happens to the leaves after they leave your area?

Ah Hah.. Gullible, we are going to ask The Shadow! When the opportunity presents itself, we also will inquire about the end destination of the leaves. Smiles .. Cap and Patti

Yesterday, Sunday October the 13th, at a meeting, I asked a close friend, Jeff B, who works for the City of Anchorage as a driver (trucks, snow plows, etc) Gullible’s question.

Here is your answer Gullible.

There is no one answer Gullible because..  It all depends on whose truck is being used: Is it a City of Anchorage (CofA) truck or is it owned by a private contractor hired by the CofA. 

IF the truck is a CofA vehicle, the leaves may go to the CofA trash landfill or some alternate CofA site. He said they have a number of other sites.

IF the truck is owned and operated by a CofA subcontractor, that firm decides where the leaves will go.

It was nice to learn that many, maybe most in fact, of the leaf removal subcontractors, turn the ground up leaves, grass clippings, straw, bark chips, and similar organic materials into an organic mulch which they then sell at a profit in the commercial market.

There you have your answer Gullible.

It is our pleasure to follow through on our above promise.

A Promise Made IS A Debt Unpaid Gullible.
