Compost (Yard waste) season is upon us. Compost season runs from April 1st - Nov. 30th. Please observe the following rules for compost:

1) Compost must be in a paper biodegrable bag. It can weigh no more than 25lbs per bag. NO Plastic pots, wrappers, dirt can be placed in the bag. This contaiminates the load.  
2) Compost placed in a can, must be CLEARLY labeled, and have 2 handles on it to be able to dump properly. Weight can not exceed 25lbs. We are NOT responsible for any damages to the can. We encourage you to use brown biodegradeable bags.
3) No 55 gallon drums
4) Any bag or can with a piece of trash in it will be rejected and left at the curb. The compost recycle facilities are not allowed to accept trash. You will have to remove the trash from the bag / can, so that it can be recovered on your next pickup day.
5) Please make sure that all compost is placed at the curb before 6am.
6) We will be offering our special compost pickup in December. Those dates are the first 2 fridays of the month. There is a nominal fee for this service.
