The Intervale Compost Products accepts commercial and institutional food residuals and yard waste (e.g. leaves, grass clippings, and plant materials up to 1/2" in diameter). Please click here for a complete list of acceptable and non-accepable items.

Many restaurants, hotels, hospitals, grocery stores, schools, and other businesses and institutions deliver their food waste to the Intervale Compost or contract with a food waste hauler. This food waste is then mixed with yard waste, manure, and ice cream residue to produce a nutrient rich soil ammendment. The compost is used to restore the soil in the Intervale, Burlington's last remaining farmland. Additional compost is available for sale to landscapers, nurseries, and home gardeners.
