It is an opportunity to raise awareness, encourage individuals to recycle and educate people about the benefits of recycling. The event will offer opportunities to dispose of electronic waste recycle textiles, shred sensitive documents, and take home free mulch. While this is one day of the year, the City encourages residents and businesses to recycle often, learn more about the recycling programs <https://www.diamondbarca.gov/791/Environmental-Services> offered. <https://www.diamondbarca.gov/Areas/CivicSend/Assets/Uploads/4600/0f05682df71c44f08d37c7273e58387a_optimized.jpg> Mulch: Promoting Sustainability and a Circular Economy Mulch plays an essential role in enhancing soil and plant health but also contributing to the circular economy, a system where waste is minimized and resources are continually reused. Mulch promotes the completion of the recycling cycle, a significant component of the circular economy concept, by turning waste into useful, nutrient-rich material for community use. It also minimizes other resource inputs such as water and harsh chemicals like pesticides and herbicides. More ways mulch can benefit your landscape: * Soil enrichment: Mulch adds nutrients to the soil as it decomposes, improving soil structure, fertility, and moisture retention. This reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and promotes healthier plant growth. * Water conservation: By covering the soil, mulch reduces evaporation, helping to retain moisture and reducing the need for frequent watering. This is particularly valuable in drought-prone areas. * Weed control: Mulch acts as a natural barrier, suppressing the growth of weeds by blocking sunlight, reducing the need for herbicides. * Erosion prevention: It helps prevent soil erosion by protecting the surface from wind and water runoff, preserving the landscape, and minimizing land degradation. By transforming organic waste into mulch, the City reduces landfill use, cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions, and ensures valuable resources are reused rather than discarded. This closed-loop system is essential to sustainable urban living, as it encourages communities to recycle organic materials and return nutrients back to the earth, completing the natural life cycle of resources. <https://www.diamondbarca.gov/Areas/CivicSend/Assets/Uploads/4600/49c1acece0234984968c6e4263914612_optimized.jpg> Pharmaceutical Disposal: National Drug Take Back Day 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 Walnut/ Diamond Bar Sheriff Station- 21695 E.

Trees are essential for biodiversity, air quality, soil health, and they act as natural carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Promoting natural area management in your backyard can help support local ecosystems, improve biodiversity, and create a healthier environment. Key steps: 1. Plant native trees and plants: Choose native species that are well-suited to your local environment. Native plants and trees support local wildlife <https://smex-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clickti me/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.calflora.net%2ftrees%2ftrees.html&umid=561c51c3-62ad-4942-8754-4b49ac1b011a&auth=589d86035e46dfb775117eeb1d511b342cc6d6a5-f510ed77f4fe642b6761eae3ae89fe9ad2fee1d4> , require less water, and help maintain the natural balance of your area. 2. Control invasive species: Regularly check for invasive plants or pests that could harm native species. Remove them as needed to protect the health of your natural area. 3. Limit chemical use: Minimize the use of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. These can harm beneficial insects, wildlife, and soil health, disrupting the natural balance of your yard. 4. Mulch around trees and plants: Use mulch to help retain soil moisture, reduce erosion, and add nutrients back into the soil. Mulching around trees and plants also reduces weed growth. <https://www.diamondbarca.gov/Areas/CivicSend/Assets/Uploads/4600/b044309b6fbb4b57ab779691a434debe_optimized.jpg> October Events Fire-Resistant Landscaping Workshop Diamond Bar Center- 1600 Grand Avenue 10-11a.m. <https://walnutvalleywater.gov/event_list/firescaping-101224/> Registration link <https://walnutvalleywater.gov/event_list/firescaping-101224/> Contact Information <https://www.diamondbarca.gov/Areas/CivicSend/Assets/Uploads/4600/b0b10f74edff42818f3bb78a4121e511_small_optimized.jpg> City of Diamond Bar | Environmental Services 21810 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 For information about this newsletter, contact the City Manager's Office at (909) 839-7015 or greendb@diamondbarca.gov <mailto:greendb@diamondbarca.gov> .
