In order that we may operate the facility effectively, the following guidelines have been implemented. Please help us continue to make this a successful operation.

1. Hour of Operation

Wednesday -- 8:00A.M. to 4:00 P.M Saturday -- 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

YARD WASTE WILL BE ACCEPTED DURING THESE HOURS ONLY! .

2. Material Allowed

Only grass clippings, leaves and small hedge clippings, woody material such as branches and twigs will be allowed if it is separated and stacked neatly at the site.

3. Who Can Use the Facility

Any Hazel Crest or East Hazel Crest resident with a valid village vehicle sticker. This is to prevent others from using your compost facility as well as allowing us to effectively monitor and measure the amount disposed of as mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

4. Method of Disposal

PLASTIC BAGS ARE NOT ALLOWED! You may bring yard waste in plastic bags but you may not leave them. Most residents either bring yard waste in trash cans or biodegradable paper bags. Either of these methods is acceptable.

Last year was our first year in operation. We have estimated that over 75% of the residents have used the facility and have made over 6000 visits. We hope you agree that our facility is a success and with your assistance we will make every effort available to us to continue to do so.
