Compost

The compost site is located at W12000 620th Avenue. From the east side city limits (Hwy10), go 1.5 miles east. Turn left (north) on 620th Avenue and go approximately 0.8 miles to the compost driveway on the left (north) side of the road. The compost site is open seasonally. Efforts are made to open early spring and remain open until just before the firearms deer hunting season. Hours vary throughout the season.  Give us a call, see our City's calendar, our City's  websites homepage or our Facebook page for current hours.  

This is a free service for City Residents. Anyone who lives outside of the City limits (Oak Grove and Clifton Townships) need to purchase a compost pass at city hall. Those passes are $15.00 for the season.
