EnviroPod features subject matter experts from the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services talking about important environmental topics focused on what residents can do and what the county is doing to fulfill its environmental vision.
In Episode #57 of EnviroPod, host Bob DeMarco sits down with Duane Wright and Shonpaul Truss from the Solid Waste Management Program. They discuss Fairfax County’s successful leaf vacuum program, a service provided to more than 21,000 county customers. They highlight environmental benefits of the program, including keeping storm drains clear. Collected leaves are composted, resulting in high-quality mulch that county residents can get for free at Solid Waste facilities. The leaf mulch provides chemical-free nutrients for yards and gardens.<
