Bluff Road Facility

Yard Waste Composting Facility

From April 1 to December 1 of every year, State law prohibits disposal of grass and leaves in the landfill. A separate composting facility adjacent to the Bluff Road Municipal Solid Waste Landfill is in operation to accept yard waste. Commercial refuse haulers and lawn maintenance companies hauling yard wastes can deliver clean yard waste to the composting facility. Brush and tree waste, which is free of soil and other debris, may also be taken to this facility.

Guidelines

• Yard waste is defined as grass and leaves, and includes crabgrass and pine needles.
• Yard wastes must be free of garbage, litter and other debris.
• Clean brush or tree waste which is free of soil and other debris is accepted.
• All brush larger than 1 inch in diameter must be separated from grass and leaves and placed in a designated area as directed.
• Plastic bags are not accepted. Yard waste can only be contained in special bio-degradable paper bags available at area retail stores or brought to the site in bulk without containers.
• All loads must be covered to enter this facility.
