Adding compost to your lawn and garden now will help insulate roots, make the most of winter precipitation, and boost your depleted soil for a beautiful spring.
Mesa County’s Organic Materials Composting Facility has provided yard waste drop-off and high-quality compost to Mesa County residents for over 20 years.
Composting is nature’s way of recycling nutrients from dead organic material into the basic building blocks of new plant growth. Mesa County utilizes specialized heavy equipment to speed up the natural decomposition process and produce uniform, high-quality soil amendments sold to the public at a lower rate than most commercially available products.
Mesa County’s compost products have met the U.S. Composting Council’s Seal of Testing Assurance and are STA certified. As a result, residents can confidently add this product to their soils, knowing that it is seed free and does not contain hazardous metals or pathogens like arsenic, lead, fecal coliform, or salmonella.
The compost facility sells STA-certified 1/2” compost, 1/4” compost, ultra-fine compost, and wood mulch. It is important to remember that compost is not soil but a soil amendment. Compost can be applied as a top dressing or mixed with the native soil to improve the overall health of your soil.
The Organic Materials Composting Facility accepts tree limbs, grass clippings, weeds, leaves, hay, animal bedding, manure, and hedge trimmings on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
The facility does not accept treated wood, lumber, pallets, burnt wood, root balls, sod, cardboard, or food waste.
