Yard Waste Collection
Metro Waste Authority turns your lawn and garden debris into Grow Gold compost, a natural soil conditioner that you can purchase on-site!
Collection Options
Yard waste is accepted at Metro Park East Landfill year-round. If it’s brought in Compost It! bags or with appropriate stickers, it is free of charge year-round. Otherwise, there is a disposal fee.
Residents have options for disposal through the Compost It! program. Through the Compost It! program, residents can conveniently dispose of yard and garden waste at the curb.
Bags & Stickers
Compost It! branded bags or stickers are required for curbside collection of yard waste.
Purchase bags and stickers:
- Purchase a Compost It! sticker from Bondurant City Hall for $1.50 per sticker
- Find a retailer for bags
Consider alternatives to your waste, perhaps by composting. Find more details about how to get started at Today's Homeowner Media.
Cart Service
If you set out several Compost It! bags each week, you might find a Compost It! cart a better option. The 96-gallon cart can hold the equivalent of three-yard waste bags. Don’t worry; the bag and sticker program can also be used if you have more than your cart will hold.
First-time Enrollment & Renewal
Similar to the garbage and recycling carts, MWA retains ownership of the Compost It! carts. If there is an issue that requires repair or warranty replacement, MWA will provide help. If you no longer want the cart, MWA will take the cart back.
Annual Renewal
The renewal fee for cart service is $122.00, which covers the cost of collection throughout yard waste season. Renew your subscription by clicking here. Once you renew your cart service, an updated Compost It! cart sticker will be provided for your cart lid, indicating the service is current.
