Recycling and Solid Waste Compost Sites
The compost sites are open for the 2008 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 yard waste compost sites. All sites are available for people to bring non-woody yard waste to be composted. We do not accept brush, 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.
For 2008, Dane County will be operating two screen plants, one each at Verona and Westport. Effective April 1, 2008, prices for screened compost are as follows:

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.
