Residents are invited to dispose of compostable yard waste (i.e. grass clippings, leaves, tree limbs and other plant debris) at this free event. Collected green waste goes to a composting facility instead of the landfill. Proof of residency required, no businesses or contractors allowed.

A1 Organics continues to operate under recommended COVID-19 guidance. They require social distancing while unloading yard waste and recommend proper protective equipment. They ask that cars stay at least 6 feet apart and visitors stay in your vehicle until your turn to unload.
