Biosolids Field to return to normal winter hours

The City of Fort Wayne's Biosolids Department will return to normal winter hours of operation on January 19, 2009. Beginning Monday, Biosolids will be open from 8am to 2pm, Monday thru Friday.

Since the December 19th ice storm, the department has been open seven days a week from 8a-5pm to accommodate the large volume of limbs and brush being dropped off by residents.

Normal winter hours for Biosolids are from 8a-2pm, Monday thru Friday, and closed on Saturday and Sunday. Winter hours usually run from December 1 to March 30.

Since the ice storm the fees for dropping off limbs and brush have been waived. Those fees will continue to be waived until the end of this month. After this month the fee structure based on weight of the drop-off will resume.

Biosolids is located at 6202 Lake Avenue and accepts grass clippings, leaves, branches and shrubs where they are turned into mulch and compost for reuse.
