Wasteline

Regular collection schedule tomorrow, June 19, 2026. The Juneteenth holiday does not delay collection.

🪵 Exciting day at Oma-Gro!

We’ve officially started screening material, which will become the very first batch of bulk compost available for sale this fall at our new location! 🍂

Our dedicated staff grinds, blends, waters, turns, and screens local yard waste, transforming it into nutrient-rich compost built to help your gardens thrive and landscapes shine. 🌿

This material will sit and cure a little while longer while Mother Nature works her magic—and while we ensure it meets our strict testing standards. Stay tuned for updates!
