Disposal companies in Lincoln County are offering free compost from 9-11 a.m. Saturday, April 23 as part of Earth Day 2022.
Dahl Disposal facilities in Waldport and Toledo, Thompson’s Sanitary Service in Newport and North Lincoln Sanitary Service in Lincoln City are offering free compost — while supplies last.
Customers are limited to one yard of compost and must provide their own truck or trailer to haul it with.
The compost comes from customers who put items such as yard debris, kitchen scraps, and coffee grounds into their mixed compostables and yard debris roll carts. It is then trucked to a processing facility in Willamette Valley and made into compost. The resulting compost is an excellent soil amendment used by gardeners and farms to enrich soils.
