5.2 Screened Compost Sales

The Authority undertakes an in depth process to the organics and yard waste it receives to turn it into saleable, quality compost. The composting process involves grinding up yard waste and placing it in long rows called ‘windrows’. The material is turned frequently and the temperature is maintained above 55 degrees Celsius in order to kill any pathogens or weed seeds. Once the compost has matured it is tested, screened, and then sold for use in landscaping, as well as flower and vegetable gardens.

In 2019 compost was sold as bulk (delivered or pick-up), bag your own, and prepackaged items as listed in Table 12.
