Compost throughout winter

Our Winter Gap Composting Program helps you to continue composting through the cold winter months. Maybe you use Buffalo Grove’s Yard Waste Collection for composting in spring, summer, and fall, or maybe you have your own backyard bin.

It’s one payment for the whole season.

2024 Winter Gap Service:

Week of December 2 - week of March 24*

*unless you let us know that you would like to continue our service.

Buffalo Grove’s Yard Waste Collection program ends on December 15, but Collective Resource Compost Cooperative keeps working all year round.
