SYRACUSE — OCRRA opened its Amboy and Jamesville compost sites on Monday, May 4 and Thursday, May 7, respectively, after a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Residents and businesses looking to drop off yard waste or purchase compost or mulch can now do so, the agency says.
OCRRA says it delayed the opening of the compost sites to protect residents and essential agency staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. OCRRA says it was able to open the sites because the county lifted its shelter-in-place order and the agency implemented measures to protect staff and customers at the sites.
All customers and staff must maintain a six-foot social distance from others and everyone must wear masks at all times on site. OCRRA also says it will be limiting the number of customers on site at one time and it asks that “everyone be patient.”
The Amboy compost site — located at 6296 Airport Road in Camillus — is open Monday to Saturday, from 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. The Jamesville compost site — situated at 4370 Route 91 in Jamesville — is open Thursday to Saturday, from 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
“OCRRA is pleased to welcome all customers back to both our compost sites,” Dereth Glance, OCRRA executive director, said in a statement. “Residents can drop off yard and food waste for recycling and load up on local OCRRA compost and mulch to finish beautifying and nourishing their gardens and landscapes.”
