More leaves and grass, please! The composing station at Bloomingdale Garden is operating at 20% capacity; let’s get it up to 50% ASAP. Thanks!

Composting Station OPEN for Business!

Our neighborhood has a brand-new composting station, conveniently located one block off Nashville Avenue,

at the corner of S. Johnson and Claiborne. 

Let’s get it loaded up!

Gather up any “soft” yard waste — leaves, grass, sand, soil, 

pine straw, etc. – then drop off bagged items as shown above.

You are also welcome to add directly to the pile…

Please DO NOT include any animal waste, woody stems, 

kitchen scraps, vines, pine cones or noxious weeds.  Thanks!

Let’s show the City that it’s better for yard waste to be 

recycled into useful soil instead of tossed in a landfill 

or blown into catch basins, causing clogged drains.

P.S. Does your lawncare service leave bags curbside? 

        Let me know when, and I’ll be happy to pick ‘em up!
