 Residents and businesses please be advised that compost will not be available for purchase this season, effective immediately.
Our available compost will be used for a landfill remediation project. The compost will be used in an innovative way to protect the new landfill cover that will be placed to permanently close our cells. Its use will be less expensive than more conventional methods for landfill remediation.
We expect to resume normal compost sales next year. For more information please call 543-2991.
