The program is offered on a voluntary, subscription basis. The subscription cost is $15.68 per month, which is about the cost of one yardwaste sticker and one yardwaste bag per week. Residents who maintain backyard compost piles or who mulch grass clippings may wish to investigate sharing organics carts and costs with neighbors.
Residents who join the Village composting program for the first time will get three months free if they sign up for 12 months of continuous service.
