Compost Guidelines

C O M P O S T

Looking for a place to compost? You can also join Greene Acres as a composting member -- no meetings, no open hours, no obligations, you just get a place to bring your compost. If you help out by maintaining the bins and turning the compost, you can take a bit home for your own use. A compost membership is $5, which we use to pay for keys, signs, outreach and hardware. If you don't want your own key, you can bring compost by for free anytime the garden is open.

Compost Guidelines: Only add kitchen waste to the metal bins near the gate. Yard waste should go in the big open bins. Add your scraps and cover them with a layer of sawdust. Make sure you replace the lid--it keeps the rats out.

You are welcome to bring your foodscraps to the garden to be turned into rich soil. If you want compost to take home with you, you have to join the garden and become an active member of the composting project. Check the home page for garden open hours and please clean up after yourself.
