Wichita Falls Composting
Wichita Falls furnishes
90 gallon recycle bins free of charge. Residents can call the Sanitation
Department and request the bins. You can put anything that is recyclable
in the bins including leaves, grass clippings, newspaper and limbs. Every
Wednesday, residents place the bin on the curb and it is picked up by
a special truck with arms. It is then transported to the landfill where
it goes through a big grinder. Wind rows are made approximately 6ft high
and 12ft wide. They have special equipment for turning the compost.
At the giveaways,
residents can get a pickup load or a trailer load. Pickup or trailer
must be covered with tarp. You can put it on your lawn, in vegetable
gardens, flower beds and even
in potted plants. It's
possible for recyclable material from your yard will return to your
yard
in the form of compost.
