Frequently Asked Questions:

    • Fruit stickers

  • No! No bio-solids of any kind

  • Yes, just make sure that there are no rocks. Standard tipping fees apply.

  • The problem is the paper, which does not decompose quickly and may contain fire retardant or mold retardant chemicals which leach into the soil. Fire retardants acidify the soil, and mold retardants might kill beneficial soil fungi
