Compost Site Will Open for Season on Saturday, April 29, 2023

Posted on: April 26, 2023 - 10:31am

It's official!  We are going to open the Area Compost Site for the season on Saturday, April 29, 2023.  The site will close for the season in mid-November, weather permitting (date to be determined).

Public Works will not be done prepping the site for the season, but it will be good enough for now.  
NOTE: The site is still muddy, so plan accordingly.

Hours for the season (WEATHER PERMITTING) are:
  • Wednesdays from 2:00pm – 7pm (or until dusk in the Fall)
  • Saturdays from 9:00am – 4:00pm
  • Sundays from 1:00pm – 4:00pm
