145.0. "Where's the Compost Pile?" by LESCOM::CLOSE () Mon Apr 10 1989 08:53

    I know that Maynard doesn't have a town dump. Can you tell me where
    the town compost pile is, and what's involved in dumping stuff there?
    
    I've been cleaning out my yard, and I have lots of grass clippings,
    straw, leaves, and twigs. I have no place to put this, but it would
    be great for a compost pile. I also have a couple of the giant paper
    bags full of leaves from last Fall's town composting effort.
    
    I'd like to add this stuff to the pile. Do I just dump it on, or
    do I need to clear this with someone?

	The compost pile in on Summer Street just after the bad turn heading to Stow. However the pile is not open for use. It is intended to be used for leaf composting in the fall and is runned by the Board of Health. I suggest you call the Board of Health and see if they have any suggestions.

	If they do let you add stuff, don't be suprised if it's just the leaves. We were involved in the pilot, and we were only supposed to put leaves in the bags. I hear that next year, it will be open to the whole town.
145.3	Board of Health is 897-1002	THRUST::RUZICH	the REAL Steve	`Mon Apr 10 1989 10:52`	4
	You want to talk to Jerry Collins. He's the Health Agent, the full-time employee of the Board of Health. Nice guy, too. -Steve
145.4	Love that compost!	HANNAH::DCL	David Larrick	`Mon Apr 10 1989 12:10`	4
	Ummm, if the town won't accept your compostable material, and if it's free from herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers, I'd be happy to take it off your hands for my own compost file. Contact me by MAIL if you'd like to pursue the matter.

	re: .1 Hey, wait a minute! The bad turn on Summer St. is in Stow (it's called Pompositticut St in Stow.) I think the Maynard compost pile must be before the bad turn, otherwise it would be in my yard. I hope people don't get mixed up with this because with two voracious horses I have PLENTY of compost material! -Andrea-

	Re: .5 I think the author of .1 meant the corner on Summer St. as you're going up the hill towards Stow. The condominium complex is on the left at the top of the hill. The left you take to get to the compost pile is just before the condominium complex. Steve

	Oh! (sigh of relief...) That's up by the water tower then, right?
