Lafayette Compost Facility Out Of Compost
Lafayette Consolidated Government's compost facility is temporarily out of compost due to the prolonged drought. Allied Waste collects yard waste from the 53,000 households served by city-parish government and grinds it up, but it needs rainfall to decompose into a nutrient-rich soil compost. Environmental Quality Manager Mark Pope says once the city receives adequate rainfall to allow the current waste to decompose, the compost will be available again.
