In celebration of International Compost Awareness
Week, Raleigh area residents and businesses can take advantage of a
great deal on bulk or bagged compost with a buy-one, get-one-free promotion at
the City’s Yard Waste Center. The sale runs from May 7 through May 12.
Customers are

container.
The Yard
Waste Center is located at 900 N. New Hope Road and is open Monday through
Saturday, 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. Customers may use cash, checks, Visa, and

The source of
the Yard Waste Center’s compost is residential yard waste from the City’s
curbside collection program, including tree branches and grass clippings. The
center generates approximately 19,000 tons of mulch and compost per year for
use in residential and commercial landscaping, sports fields, and gardens. The
goal of the program is to divert material that can be recycled from the landfill.
The compost
is tested quarterly to meet the U.S. Composting Council’s ASTM standards.
