Compost It! is a simplified, metro-wide yard waste recycling program. This program includes two types of services: a Standard Service and a Premium Service for participating communities.
The Compost It! program recycles accepted yard waste discarded from single-family and multi-family dwellings. Yard waste can be placed at the curb for pick-up on your area’s scheduled pick-up day or dropped off at the Metro Park East Landfill at the on site composting facility.
Compost It! Season Begins April 2
This applies to residents of Altoona, Bondurant, Carlisle, Clive, Grimes, Johnston, Norwalk, Pleasant Hill, Urbandale, West Des Moines and Windsor Heights. Des Moines provides their residents with year-round Compost It! collection. For community-specific yard waste information, click here.
