Community composting at the Lyons Farmette

Lyons Curbside Recycling & Compost will have its own community compost bins based at the Lyons farmette. This will reduce the pickup cost for compost from $9 per pickup to just $5 per pickup. It will also limit the type of food waste that can be composted. For example, people who choose the $5 per pickup option will not be able to compost their meat, dairy products, breads, or bones. However, there is an extensive list of items that can be composted (please see LCRC website Compost Page), and special $9 pickups can still be requested for Zero Waste events and the above-mentioned hard-to-compost items. 

Residents will not be able to utilize the community compost without going through Lyons Curbside Recycling & Compost's pickup service. I will be closely monitoring and managing the bins to ensure they function properly.
