Compost/Mulch Site Facility

difference between compost and mulch

The compost site facility is located at the Street Department Garage in the MIDA property.

All yard waste and leaves collected in the Borough are taken to this facility where they are composted and then offered to residents at no charge.

Resident homeowners may drop off yard waste at the site in the labeled bins located in the rear of the garage.  This area is under camera surveillance.

MULCH AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS:

Mulch is a great ground covering that reduces weed growth and retains water in soil.
