 Bagged Compost for Sale Minimize

A new item is available at the Adams County Landfill & Recycling Center. The Landfill will be selling bagged compost, 2 cubic foot bags of pure vegetative compost made at the Landfill from Adams County leaves, grass, wood chips, etc. The bags are for sale for $5.00 per bag. Test results are available and our compost has a ph of 8.0 which is excellent, especially for use to correct the soils near pine trees so that grass will actually grow there.
