Recycling and Solid Waste Compost Sites
Dates Open
The compost sites are open for the 2010 season
Yard wastes are banned from disposal at all landfills in the State of Wisconsin. To provide a method of
recycling yard waste, Dane County operates three compost sites. All sites are available for people to bring
non-woody yard waste to be composted. We do not accept brush, dirt, rocks, Christmas wreaths or
garlands (because of the metal wire), or trash of any sort, such as pieces of fences, plastic bags or
Styrofoam, plastic lawn edging or similar material.

Besides the use of these compost facilities, homeowners may find that home compost systems are more
convenient, saving both the time and effort of using the County facilities, while also producing usable
compost. Information on home composting is available at local libraries, garden and hardware stores or
from the County.
