It looks like a larger and more efficient city compost site will be available for public use sometime in the Spring. The summer-long project is now in the homestretch with all the piping work completed. There is some storm sewer work on Bonnie Street and some paving on Pewabic Street to finish up.The next few weeks will be used for scheduled brush and leaf drop-off and by spring the larger cleared area will be organized and marked with a formal composting process in operation. City Manager Scott Erickson says that hopefully next year the city will expand the hours of operation next year. For now, you can drop off your brush and leaves to be composted on Friday and Saturday.
