That's a good question Roseleigh. All the paper goes to a paper recycling plant and used to make recycled paper products like paper towel/toilet paper etc. The same happens with glass, cans and plastic. The great thing about yard waste is it's sent to a different area where it's allowed to decompose and it turns into compost which is then sold back to homeowners at a cheap price and used in public gardens to enrich the soil. Our earth is becoming too fragile so everyone should do their part to decrease the waste.
