We accept drop-offs of yard waste and tree trimmings from both commercial and residential visitors. These materials are mixed with food waste to create our nutrient rich compost and other soil amendments.

Yard Waste Dropoff Rules

Clean inputs only. No trash and no pet waste. Contaminated loads will be turned away.
Arborists must provide clean wood chips. No mixed loads.
No logs or root balls.
No branches thicker than 3″.
We are currently not accepting manure in general, but very small loads may be considered on a case by case basis.

Location & Hours

Please bring yard waste to 403 Haines Ave NW, and enter thru our northern gate off 5th Street. Our current yard waste hours are Tuesday thru Friday, 8am-4pm, and Monday 8am-noon.
