Composting and Recycling Update Mary Kueffner reported on our compost site for 1987--we collected over 2100 yards which amounts to 252 tons. A memo was provided from Washington County regarding 1988's composting program. The County has offered to pay additional monies to the City to keep the site open longer thru the Summer.
