City of Fortuna Offering Free ‘Exceptional Quality’ Compost June 4-8
This is a press release from the City of Fortuna:
The City of Fortuna will once again be hosting a promotional give-away for Exceptional Quality (EQ) Class A compost for unrestricted beneficial reuse as a soil amendment to your property or place of residence beginning on Monday, June 4th and continuing until Friday, June 8th.
Loading hours will be from 9am to 3:30pm each day at our facility located at 180 Dinsmore Drive. As per the City’s Biosolids Management Plan, the public will be limited to 2½ cubic yards (roughly one full-size pickup truck load) of material per address. Small pickup trucks should hold 1½ cubic yards. Everyone will be required to sign a “Hold Harmless” release of liability, when picking up the compost. Drivers must have proper tarps for covering compost while transporting from the facility. Tarps are NOT provided by the City. No pickups with canopies will be loaded by City staff.
Please use the corporation yard entrance at 190 Dinsmore Dr. (2nd gate past the bridge) when picking up the compost. Vehicles entering the corporation yard can proceed directly to the loading area by following the signs. If you have any questions, you may call 707.725.1426.

Gross!!
Believe it or not the stuff has value! 150 bucks a yard! So getting free compost is a plus…
Dig my hands thru steer manure all day no prob … no way I’m dragging my paws thru human poop tho
that’s not what the plants said!
Downside of biosolids are pharm waste that isn’t composted out. Your biosolid fed garden could uptake Prozac.
Biosolids should only be used on ornamentals, nothing else.
“Your biosolid fed garden could uptake Prozac.”
Now THAT’S an idea. I’d eat a whole lot more broccoli (“Proccoli” ™ ?) and I’d probably be a bit less depressed…
My Tulips could use some Viagra.
Kym, due to your recent refresher on your well-designed posting guidelines, I refrained from the obvious “Fortuna is full of class A, exceptional quality $#!&” comment.
You’re welcome. 😉
