- Garden waste
Items that are not accepted as compost at the WMF:
- Branches
- Twigs thicker than a pen
- Paper and paper products
- Food scraps
Compost pick up
If you would like a green bin for compost pickup, please contact Loraas Environmental. They offer a pre-paid residential compost collection program from May-October.
Compost collection program
Before the end of October, we offer city residents a free compost collection program each year. Program guidelines:
-
Place your compost material in see-through bags or paper yard waste bags
-
Bags may only contain leaves, grass clippings, and garden waste
-
Branches are not accepted, and twigs thicker than a pen are not accepted
-
Unlimited number of bags residents can be left for pickup
-
Bags should be left on the boulevard, not streets or sidewalks
-
Compost is collected from streets on that street's designated parking restriction day
-
Drop compost off for free at the WMF if you can't take part in the compost collection program
