Composting in the City of Charlottesville

2018 CITY MARKET COMPOST
DROP-OFF PROGRAM COMING TO SEASONAL CLOSE

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the City Market composting program this season!

As the City Market transforms into the Winter Market (Nov-Dec), the City Market Composting program is winding down with the last day to drop-off your food scraps this Saturday (10/27/2018).

We’re thrilled to have seen so many of you visit our drop-off station and are excited to announce the launching of a new composting pilot program for Charlottesville residents. McIntire Recycling Center will continue to accept compost with adjusted hours throughout winter months – more details below.
