Other Composting Options

• At the Landfill

  The Matilda Landfill, located at 10815 Siebert Road accepts leaf and yard waste materials free of charge.

  Branches and Brush are NOT accepted during the Depot Days and therefore must be brought to the Landfill. Limbs and tree trunks have additional fees as outlined in the Matilda Landfill Fee Schedule.

• Composting at Home

  If you miss the depot days, or the Matilda landfill is inaccessible try setting up a backyard compost of your own. A backyard composter can help you manage your leaves and yard waste as well as your kitchen scraps, helping you clean up your yard and reduce the amount of garbage you are creating!

  Did you know that Grass Clippings and Mulched Leaves are great for your lawn! Leaving them on your lawn allows them to decompose and enhance the soil with valuable nutrients that feed the microbes and worms. The nitrogen boost that results from mulching grass and leaves means you don’t have to fertilize in the fall!
