This is a continuation of a program Powell County has had in place for years with Rumpke, we are happy to have more options for our community, with the county covering the cost for you.

Crews are heading out in this pretty weather to help get the roads cleaned up. So if you are driving Wi******er Road or Black Creek road be advised crews are walking the roads. We try our best to give you plenty of room to go around us.

FREE COMPOST

Nearly all soil is improved with the addition of compost. I often recommend compost over synthetic fertilizers as compost improves the overall health of the soil while fertilizers are temporary.

If your garden soil could use improving, you are in luck. Tim Snowden at the Powell County Transfer Station has secured several loads. The compost is free and available for pickup. You can pick small amounts up to one Bobcat scoop per day.

This is a great opportunity to get a jumpstart on the garden season.

For question about compost and it's benefits, call the extension office at 663-6405.
