Trucks line up for the city's annual compost sale, Friday, March 23, 2012, at 1420 E. 11th St.

Now that spring has arrived, the city of Lawrence is holding its annual compost and wood chip sale event this Friday and Saturday.

The sale will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day at the city’s compost facility, 1420 E. 11th St., rain or shine.

City employees will load compost and wood chips for $10 cash per bucket load, or approximately two cubic yards. Small quantities that can be self-loaded, including small bags and boxes, are free.

The city asks those filling trucks to bring a tarp to ensure chips and compost doesn’t litter the roadways.

Besides the Friday and Saturday sale, compost and wood chips are sold every Saturday from March through mid-December, self-load only, for $10 per truck or trailer.
