COMPOST SITE OPENS ON SATURDAY, MARCH 26
During 2016 Pleasant Prairie's Compost Site will be open between March 26 and December 3, weather permitting. The site is easy to use, with drop-off options and free compost and wood chips for Village residents (while supplies last). The drop-off options can help you work around times when you need more flexibility with your disposal options, like dropping off your garbage and recycling before you leave for a vacation.
The Compost Drop-off Site is located at the Prange Municipal Center at 8600 Green Bay Road. The site is situated in the southwest corner of the property.
When using the site, please be prepared to provide proof of residence in Pleasant Prairie. If you frequent the site, for your convenience, you can request a compost sticker for your automobile window. The site is closed on the first Wednesday of each month to allow a contractor to safely grind compost on site before hauling it away.
