City of Platteville Adjusts Compost Site Hours and Implements New Permit Requirements For Contractors

Effective January 1, 2025, the City of Platteville has updated the operating hours for the Compost Site at 1670 Stumptown Road, and introduced a new permit system for commercial contractors utilizing the site. These changes are designed to continue access for residents and better manage materials brought to the site.

The Compost Site will now operate under the following hours:

• Monday – Friday: 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM
• Saturday: 7:00 AM to Noon
• Closed on Sundays and City Holidays

This change will help ensure that city residents have access to dispose of brush and yard waste at no cost, while limiting non-residential use of the site.

Permit Requirement for Contractors
All contractors wishing to utilize the Compost Site must secure a permit and display it prominently while on-site. This policy has been implemented to manage the volume of unacceptable materials being brought to the site. Contractors are only permitted to dispose of Brush and Yard Waste from City of Platteville residents, and only after receiving the appropriate permit and payment of the associated permit fee.

Permits can be obtained at Platteville City Hall, located at 75 N. Bonson Street, during regular business hours (8:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday).

Monitoring and Enforcement
To prevent unauthorized use, surveillance cameras are now in place at the Compost Site to detect any potential violations of this policy. Platteville citizens and City staff are encouraged to report any suspected violations to the Street Superintendent for investigation and appropriate action.
