How Much Compost do I Need?
A full size or 8 foot bed truck will hold 2 yards. You will need to bring a tarp to cover/secure loads at the landfill. You are more than welcome to bring your own buckets, totes, or bags (heavy duty and don't plan on filling them very full) to fill with compost or wood chips.
To determine how much compost you might need for a project see the table below. You can find calculators for other depths and materials using a simple internet search.

Traditional Compost
This is a compost product made from material brought to our green waste facility by the general public and landscaping products. This compost can take up to 6 months to process depending on weather conditions. This is the product we have sold for many years at the landfill and is screened to 3/4-1" which means it may have sticks up to 1" in length in it.
This product does not use any material from the Wastewater Treatment Facility. See more information about the nutrient composition and application rates here: Link to traditional compost lab report.
Biosolids Compost
This is a compost product made from a mixture of wood chips and biosolids - the byproduct from our wastewater treatment plant. This product is safe for home landscape and vegetable garden and other agricultural uses and has been awarded the EPA Class A rating. Compost made from biosolids is considered a nutrient rich compost product and care should be taken to follow appropriate application guidelines. This product is currently screened to 3/4-1" and in the future we will offer a double screened product that screens to 1/4"-3/8".
You can see safety test results and more information regarding the composition of this product and application rates at the links below. If any of these tests fail to meet the EPA Class A standards, the product is landfilled and not offered for sale to the public.

Dyed Wood Chips
If we have excess wood chips of any variety and adequate staff we sometimes will dye some wood chips for sale to the public. These are generally very limited and sell out fast. Colors can be black, brown, gold, or red.
Premium Wood Chips
Premium wood chips generally come from landscaping companies. They are fine wood chips and double screened for size uniformity.
Medium Wood Chips
These wood chips are chipped using our chipper and screened to a 3” size. They are generally less uniform in size.
Evergreen Wood Chips
These are made with evergreens only as they can alter the composition of the soil making growing of other items difficult. They do retain a nice color.
Coarse Shredded Tree
This product is very coarse and will look more like small sticks and branches than wood chips.
Firewood
We do not sell already cut firewood. We have a wood cutting area where large branches and logs are stored. These large branches and logs will vary in age, size, and how green they are. Those who are interested may come and cut wood at the wood cutting area. Be sure to sign a chainsaw waiver at the scale house. This area is not attended and can get very muddy during wet seasons.
