The City’s two compost depots will open Monday, April 16, 2018.
Residents are invited to drop off leaves, grass, sod, topsoil, garden refuse, and non-elm branches, stumps and tree trimmings at both of the City’s compost depots at no cost.

Mistaya and Koda completed their first hibernation the winter of 2017, and April 12, 2018, marks the completion of their second.
