Compost pick up opportunity

Have you ever wondered what happens to your organics recycling? Our city of Minneapolis organics recycling ends up at a commercial compost site in Rosemount, Minn. where 20,000 tons of organics are processed annually. The finished compost is made available for landscaping and now you have the chance to get your hands on it! This high-quality compost adds nutrients to your yard and gardens and will help your plants thrive. This year, you’re invited to get your compost at the Plate to Garden Compost Pick Up Event on Saturday, May 21 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at Mayflower Church (106 E. Diamond Lake Road).
Here’s your chance to have your former food scraps that are now compost right in your yard! The commercial compost site will deliver a load of compost and neighbors can stock up for all their gardening needs. Bring your own fillable containers for a suggested donation of $2 per 20 pounds of compost. If you need to use one of the provided burlap bags, an additional $1 per bag is requested to cover the cost of the bag. First come, first served. Proceeds from the event help support future environmental programming.
If bringing your own refillable containers or shovels for loading, please ensure all dirt is cleared from your items to ensure no spread of invasive jumping worms.
