145.0. "Where's the Compost Pile?" by LESCOM::CLOSE () Mon Apr 10 1989 11:53

    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.

    You want to talk to Jerry Collins.  He's the Health Agent, the
    full-time employee of the Board of Health.  Nice guy, too.

    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!

    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.

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