There is no fee for leaf drop-off.
Our leaf bunker is accessible to vehicles from our first entrance on Redmond Rd. Simply drive up to the bunker and unload your material.
If you have invasive, noxious, or diseased plants: Our composting process involves high enough temperatures to ensure destruction of spores and seeds, but we need to take precautions to avoid spreading them prior to the composting process.
Before dumping, please stop in the office and notify a staff member so that we can handle the material appropriately.
Bag the plant material, ideally in a paper grocery bag or a compostable leaf bag (available at hardware stores and garden centers). Exercise extra caution when handling noxious plants, the sap from which can cause severe burns or blindness. If using plastic bags, you MUST empty the plant out of the bag and dispose of the bag yourself.
View our page on invasive, noxious, and diseased plants for more information, including how to identify common varieties in Chittenden County.

We recommend calling ahead to confirm these hours during the beginning and end of the seasonal period. We create an extended schedule to coincide closely with the gardening season, to make sure our staff is available when demand for our soils is at its peak. If the weather begins to warm up in April, we may start extended hours earlier than listed below.
