Compost Sites

OCRRA operates two yard waste compost sites (Amboy and Jamesville). Residents can register for a season pass and utilize both locations for only $10 a year! Commercial users are charged at a slightly higher rate.

The residential user season pass allows you to drop-off an unlimited amount of yard waste and take away up to 2 cubic yards of compost or 2 cubic yards of mulch per day. (This amount is roughly equivalent to what fits into a half-ton pick-up truck or standard 4' x 8' single-axle trailer.) Get a season pass today!

Download a registration form, e-mail us or call 453-2866 to have a registration form mailed to you. You can also stop by either of the compost sites during their normal hours of operation and register for a season pass there as well.

When you visit the compost sites, plan on loading and unloading your own materials. Please bring a shovel or pitchfork and containers that are easy to carry, such as 5-gallon plastic buckets. Yard waste must be dropped-off
in the appropriate collection area.
