Composting
Annual Compost Collection Program
October 19 to 26
We offer our 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 "no on street parking" day
-
Drop compost off for free at the WMF if you can't take part in the compost collection program
- After October 26, 2026, residents who wish to have their compostable material collected must take their bags to the WMF.
Free drop off
You can drop off your compost for free at the Waste Management Facility (WMF). Just let the scale house attendant know you have compost, and they will guide you to the compost pile.
Accepted compost material includes:
- Grass clippings
- Leaves
- Garden waste
Items that are not accepted as compost at the WMF:
- Branches
- Twigs thicker than a pen
- Paper and paper products
