City Compost Depots closing for the season on Sunday, November 5
The City’s two compost depots are set to close on Sunday, November 5. Residents can continue to drop off excess yard waste until the depots close for the season.
In addition to dropping off yard waste, residents can still take part in the Dig-Your-Own program at the West Compost Depot. Residents can self-load up to 1 cubic yard of compost and mulch at no cost, subject to weather and while supplies last.
The West Compost Depot, located at Highway 7 and 11th Street, is open 7 days a week, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:50 p.m.
Residents can also access the East Compost Depot, located on Highway 5, for drop-off only 5 days a week, Thursday to Monday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:50 p.m.
Access to sites is subject to weather and site conditions.
Excess yard waste is welcomed at both drop-off depots. The City Compost Depots do NOT accept elm wood, treated and untreated lumber, building materials, garbage, or any animal waste/litter. Food waste is also NOT accepted for drop-off at the compost depots; selected food waste may be composted at home and all food waste can now be placed in green carts.
