The City of Columbus Compost Facility provides FREE disposal for trees and bushes. They do not accept plastic bags, trash, grass or sod.

Yard waste can be disposed of in several ways locally. The easiest way is to contact the community in which you live and find out the procedures for curbside yard waste disposal. However residents of Franklin County and pre-approved areas can take their yard waste to either of two SWACO contracted composting centers at no charge. These composting Centers are operated by Kurtz Bros., Inc. and Ohio Mulch, Inc. 


Christmas Tree Recycling Information
The Christmas trees you set out for pickup go to the Authority sponsored compost facilities. We ask that you remove the plastic or metal icicles and the large plastic tree bags. Plastic contaminates the compost process and ruins the finished product.
