Optional Compost Program:

Don't send your food scraps and landscape material to the landfill; compost them instead! We encourage you to look into starting a composting program. On average, these services are offered at a reduced rate compared to garbage service. Your business may be able to reduce your garbage service fees if a successful composting program is in place. Contact us for cart sizes and rates.
