Compost Sites

OCRRA operates two yard waste compost sites (Amboy and Jamesville). Residents can purchase a $10 pass and utilize both locations! Commercial users are charged a slightly higher rate.

The residential user pass allows you to drop-off an unlimited amount of yard waste and take away up to 6 cubic yards of compost or 6 cubic yards of mulch per pass. If more material is needed another pass may be purchased or you may purchase material on a per yard basis.

Get a compost pass today!

Download a registration form or e-mail us and we'll send you one. You can also stop by either of the compost sites during their normal hours of operation and purchase a pass there.

Residents may load mulch or compost on their own, or for a modest fee, OCRRA will load it for you. Click here for fee information.

Residents must unload their own yard waste. Please bring a shovel or pitchfork and containers that are easy to carry, such as 5-gallon plastic buckets. Yard waste must be dropped-off in the appropriate collection area.
