Leaf Compost Giveaway

  • Date: 03/30/2024 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM  

Loose and bagged leaves collected by the Town are composted into leaf mulch, which can be used as a soil additive for composting. This is an important service as composted leaf mulch keeps leaves out of the landfill. Leaves can take up valuable landfill space and produce harmful greenhouse gasses.

This year, leaf mulch compost will be available for pickup at Glade Road Growing on Saturday, March 30, from 8am-12pm. To arrange pickup, residents must register and follow the guidelines below.

  • Register for a 30-minute time slot - Time slots are in 30-minute intervals starting at 8:00am.
  • Limit 2 cubic yards per truck or trailer, loaded by Town staff.
  • Notice: The process of loading leaves may cause scratches or dents to trucks or trailers as well as possible suspension damage due to the weight. By participating in this program, those accepting loads of mulch assume the risk inherent with loading leaves into their vehicles.
