The Oneida-Herkimer Solid\u00a0Waste Authority (the Authority) wants to remind residents that its Compost is available for sale.<\/p>\n<p>The Authority produces high quality compost from municipal yard waste generated in the two-County area. Its finished\u00a0compost is made entirely from processed brush, leaves and grass clippings and is fully cured and screened to 1\/2\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Compost alone is not a fertilizer and should be used as a soil additive to develop or improve moisture retention and add\u00a0important organic <!--more-->matter. Compost worked into clay or sandy soils improves texture, helps with compaction and aerates\u00a0the soil, thereby facilitating grass and turf root development. It can also be used as a substitute for landscaping mulch or\u00a0peat moss.<\/p>\n<p>The Authority\u2019s compost has been certified by the US Composting Council under its Seal of Testing Assurance Program\u00a0as consistent, high-quality compost. This means the Authority\u2019s compost has been tested by third party laboratories to\u00a0ensure that it meets all state and federal requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The Authority\u2019s compost is available for purchase in bags or by bulk.\u00a0Bagged Price: $2 each, or 3 for $5, available at the Authority\u2019s Utica Convenience Station (80 Leland Avenue Ext.) and\u00a0Rome Convenience Station (575 Perimeter Road). Each bag weighs about 45 pounds and contains 1.2 cubic feet of compost.<\/p>\n<p>Pick-Up Truck Price: $15.00 per pick-up truck, $20.00 per large pick-up truck loaded at the Authority\u2019s Utica or Rome\u00a0Convenience Stations.<\/p>\n<p>Bulk Price: $15.00 per cubic yard loaded in your dump truck at the Utica Facility only.\u00a0For more information regarding the Authority\u2019s Compost or composting at home, visit www.ohswa.org or call 733-1224.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the arrival of warm weather, it is time to start thinking about gardening and planting.
