Apparently there is still a market for the grass triming and garden green waste. As a separate truck picks up that container.

A lot of communities do that and compost the stuff and then provide it back to the people in the community, either for a small fee or free. My town doesn't do anything like that, so I have to scrounge for my organic matter for the garden.

I know that the county and city provide this material to those who want it for free or low cost.

I'm passing the word about Starbucks and their coffee grounds to a couple of young relatives who want to raise earthworms for bait and gardens. These great nephews want to be big time worm raisers. I think there is a local Starbucks in their area.

My sons, before they graduated to flies and artificial lures would buy a couple of dozen worms, put them in an area and throw our coffee grounds on the top of the soil and cover it with damp newspapers. In a few months they had all the worms they needed.
