City of Franklin, TN Compost Facility Presentation

Here are the steps you will need to take to purchase compost:

• Purchase your cubic yard voucher at the Utility Billing Office at 109 3rd Avenue S.,  615-794-4572.
• Redeem your vouchers Mon., Wed., and Fri. ONLY, between the hours of 7:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
• Compost can be loaded into open bed pickup trucks, trailers, and dump trucks only

The compost comes in screened and unscreened. 

Cost is: Screened = $30/yd, Unscreened = $20/yd.

To calculate how much compost you will need, you can use this formula:

Length x width x depth / 27 = Cubic Yards. 

For example if your space is; 4ft length x 8ft width x 1.5ft depth / 27 = 1.8 Cubic Yards  

Contact the Compost Facility Manager, Todd King, at (615) 210-7298 or todd.king@franklintn.gov.
