Perkins residents can drop off yard waste free Nov. 7–8

Perkins Township residents in Erie County can drop off yard waste free Nov. 7–8 at the Barnes Nursery compost facility.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 7 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 8, according to the township's Oct. 15 notice.

Residents must present identification or a utility bill showing a Perkins Township address, the township's yard-waste disposal page says. That page says normal drop-offs carry a fee.

Barnes lists its Huron compost facility at 1630 Camp Road. The compost site is separate from its Cleveland Road garden center.

The event notice does not spell out material limits. Barnes' general composting page says it does not accept trash, plastic bags, pet waste or painted or treated wood. Residents should confirm event-specific restrictions with the township at 419-609-1400 before hauling a load.

The free event is for township residents; the notice does not extend it to all Erie County residents.
