Compost Sales
The City’s compost facility has been producing a superior product and defying beliefs that composting north of 60° is difficult or even impossible. Our compost meets the Organic Materials Review Institute standard, making it approved for use in organic operations.

The City offers two formats for compost to meet your needs:
- Bagged compost for small-scale garden projects
- Bulk compost for bigger projects such as landscaping and agriculture
We offer two types of compost:
- Compost
- Mixed compost (blend of compost + sand)
Which product do I need? What’s the difference between compost and mixed compost?
- Compost product is ideal for adding to existing soil to condition and add nutrients.
- Mixed compost (blend of compost and sand) is ideal for empty garden boxes, new gardens, and lawn applications. Vegetable and flower gardeners sometimes add peat moss to the blended product too.
