City to sell compost Saturday

Area gardeners will have another opportunity to purchase loads of compost from the city of Lawrence this weekend.

The city will host a bulk compost sale from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Wood Recovery and Composting Facility, 1420 E. 11th St.

City crews will sell the compost for $10 per pickup-truck load. Limited supplies of the compost are available, and past events have run out before it was scheduled to end.

The compost is made from the weekly curbside collections of residential yard waste, which includes grass, leaves and small, woody debris.
