St. Louis city
Hours
First Saturday of each month, except when a holiday falls on the first Saturday (then the second Saturday). The Forestry residential yard-waste page for this same site also lists Monday–Friday 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. and first Saturday 7:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Confirm before you go.
Season
Free drop-off runs on the first Saturday of each month (or the second Saturday if a holiday falls on the first). Confirm the city's schedule before you go.
Fees
The compost schedule page describes this as a free drop-off for City of St. Louis residents. The residential yard-waste page says residents get one free pickup-truck load on designated dates, with a dump fee by load size at other times. Mulch and compost are sold on site.
Who can use it
City of St. Louis residents with ID and proof of residency; no commercial vehicles.
Accepted
grass clippings; leaves; brush; twigs under 2 in. diameter; garden plants (no trees, limbs, stumps, sod or dirt)
Phone
314-486-0185
Notes
Privately operated contractor site used for the city's free resident drop-off program. Two official Forestry pages disagree on weekday hours and whether a dump fee applies outside the free designated drop-off; the dedicated compost schedule page is used as the source and describes first-Saturday drop-off only.
