Leaf Compost

Public Works offers a yard waste composting program for residents each spring and fall. Watch for dates and times to be posted on moontwp.com, on Facebook, in the township’s monthly email newsletter, in the quarterly Moon Township Messenger magazine and on the MCA-TV message board. Residents are welcome to drop off yard waste. The site is located at the new maintenance facility across from Nelson Pond in Moon Park. The site is open every day from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm. residents are invited to drop off yard waste to be composted. Acceptable materials include tree limbs, leaves, and plant matter. Limbs should not exceed 6 feet in length and 4 inches in diameter. Do not tie or bundle branches. Please note this is not a dumpsite. No other materials will be accepted. Mulch is available for resident pickup. Bring your own containers and take as much as you need.

Moon Township encourages residents to try composting at home. Composting food and yard waste diverts organic waste from the landfill and creates a rich soil additive for landscaping projects. A home composting guide is available on the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection website at www.depweb.state.pa.us.
