2025 Drop-off Schedule
The below schedule is updated as of February 2025. We hope you find these convenient, as there are typically multiple options every day, on both sides of the river. Our Facebook Page is the very best way to stay up-to-date (pinned post, upcoming events, daily posts or any last minute schedule changes we are notified about) and get more details for each site, as it can vary slightly. We also try to keep our Instagram updated as much as possible BUT ultimately we rely on our partners to let us know of any changes so we strongly encourage you to visit their social media pages to check for any last-minute cancellations or closures due to weather events or otherwise. Reminder, Schmellyβs Dirt Farm is open daily, 6am until sunset.

Please DO NOT drop off your compost outside of the days and hours specified above or if the bins are not there.

Leaving food waste unattended will result in shutting down the location.
