Composting Information

Composting at the Readfield Transfer Station

We accept "brown" and "green" yard waste and food scraps for composting.  The compost pile is located on the right as you leave the facility.

Brown compost materials include:  Fall leaves, bark, animal bedding
Green compost materials include:  Grass clippings, garden weeds, leafy plants, manure
Food compost materials include:  Anything that was once alive and spent time on your plate

Please do not bring in large quantities of material without checking with staff.  Animal carcasses (from pig roasts, road kill, etc.) are never accepted

Residents are invited to bring your compostable materials and/or take home a reasonable amount of finished compost. Transfer Station attendants are available to direct you as to where to put your compostable materials and answer any questions. For those who may have horse manure, the compost site will accept that as well.
