The City of Harrison owns and operates a yard waste composting facility.  Yard waste received by the City is composted using a controlled aerobic decomposition to transform organic material into a biologically stable product that can be used as a soil amendment.  In addition to producing compost, the facility also produces wood chip mulch.

The facility is not open to the public; however, City of Harrison and Boone County residents may take yard waste, limbs, and brush to the LRS at 1313 Old Bellefonte Road. The Drop Off Center is closed on Mondays & Tuesdays. Hours are W-F: 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.) Compost and mulch are also seasonally available for pick up by Harrison and Boone County residents at the Recycling Center.  

The annual City-Wide Leaf Pickup will begin Monday after Thanksgiving and will be scheduled by City Ward.  Based on the ward you live in, you’ll need to have your leaves at the curb before the posted date to ensure that they will be collected at the correct time. The schedule will be posted on social media and the website during October. The order of pick up is Wards 2, 3, 1, and 4.

Ward 2- To be announced
Ward 3- To be announced
Ward 1- To be announced
Ward 4- To be announced

Leaves should be raked to the curb (not in the street) no later than the day before your Ward begins.  If you are unsure what ward you are in, you can call 870-741-3434 or check your voter registration.

Call 870-741-3434 if you have bagged leaves for pickup (plastic bags are not accepted.) Biodegradable paper bags are available at most retail locations or LRS.  The Street Department will pick up bagged leaves on the Friday they are in your ward.  You can also drop off bagged leaves at the LRS Recycling & Drop-off Center (1313 Old Bellefonte Road).

Please do not rake or pile leaves in the street or gutter.  Leaves should be raked and piled to the edge of your yard but not in the street.  Also, please do not put limbs or brush in with the leaves.
