Purchase Compost

Bulk Purchasing

Bulk compost sales are only available at Metro Park East Landfill. There is a minimum purchase of 1 cubic yard, which is approximately enough to fill the back of a small pickup truck. Compost is loaded with a front loader, so only trucks with open-top loading can be filled. No self-loading is allowed at this facility.
