Anderson's Water Pollution Control Utility runs a Yard and Garden Recycling Center at 2000 W. Eighth St. that beneficially reuses brush, leaves, and grass. Home composting is allowed; keep piles tidy so they don't become a nuisance.
Anderson supports composting both at home and citywide. The Water Pollution Control Utility operates the Yard and Garden Center at 2000 West Eighth Street with the stated objective to "beneficially reuse brush, leaves and grass." The facility accepts brush, wood chips, leaves, and grass but rejects loads containing treated timbers, tree stumps, trash, rocks, plastic, or painted wood. Leaves and grass are windrowed and cured at 140-150 degrees F for two to three weeks, killing weed seeds and pathogens, then screened into finished compost and mulch. The drop-off center at 2000 W. Eighth St. is open Wednesday and Saturday. Home compost piles are allowed, but keep them contained and odor-free so they aren't cited as an environmental nuisance.
A neglected, odor-producing, or pest-attracting compost pile can be cited as an environmental nuisance; dumping prohibited materials at the yard-waste center is rejected on-site.
