Compost Delivery for Fairfax Residents

by Leave a Comment

FREE COMPOST FOR FAIRFAX RESIDENTS. Bring it Home! Free compost will be available for Fairfax residents on Friday, November 30, 2018. This will be the last delivery made by Marin Sanitary Service in 2018. This compost is made from the food and yard waste collected in our green curbside carts.

Since the delivery is shared with all Fairfax residents, please do not take more than five 5-gallon buckets (which provides about a one inch cover for a 40 square foot garden). Please bring your own containers and shovel.

Use of Compost: Compost is a soil amendment that improves the water-holding capacity and structure of your soil, but too much of it can harm your plants. It is recommended that you use no more than 1-2 inches on your annuals & perennials.
