Overview
The compost site is open both to self-haulers and commercial landscapers and is for leaves and brush only! Please note the following definitions:
- LEAVES MEANS LEAVES, i.e., raked up after falling off the trees.
- Brush means branches, twigs, woody stemmed plants, tree limbs, tree trunks, and stumps (free of dirt).
Leaves may be delivered in one of three ways:
- In special, bio-degradable leaf bags (available in most grocery, hardware, and home supply stores).
- Loose in the vehicle
- Least preferred, leaves may also be delivered in plastic bags, but these bags must be emptied before the leaves are dumped. Leaves delivered in the bio-degradable leaf bags are not charged a tip fee at the scales at any time.
There is no disposal fee for leaves delivered as described above.
Brush must pass over the scales, where a
fee is charged by weight.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
The waste district maintains a zero-tolerance policy with regard to plastic, litter or other non-yard waste debris being dumped at the compost site. Loads found to contain non-acceptable debris will be charged at the full rubbish rate. Cameras record all scale house transactions.
