What happens to your yard debris?
Yard debris is ground in a tub grinder and transported
to our composting site. Material is laid in rows to decompose.
The rows are turned regularly to introduce air and moisture.
The end product is a rich organic soil and mulch.

Leaf Compost & Mulch
Each fall, we pick-up the leaves residents rake curbside.
The collected leaves are taken to our “leaf farm", where the material
is processed and made into leaf compost. In the Spring, when the
leaves have formed a rich compost, it is made available to the residents
of Kettering for free!   Material may be picked up at Indian Riffle Park
on Stroop Road.

Volunteers from Kettering Citizens Police Academy will be on site
to "spot check" vehicles.  Please be prepared to present proof of residency
or tax-payer status when picking up wood chips or leaf compost.

Please note: The City of Kettering does not deliver mulch or compost.
