As part of the City’s waste diversion goals, we transport recyclables and yard waste to regional facilities. Join us on an upcoming tour of the organic compost facility on October 10.
In this behind-the-scenes tour on October 10, you will see how your food and yard waste is processed into a valuable soil amendment.
