The Elyria Regional Compost Facility and/or Barnes Materials will accept materials in brown paper bags. Anything brought to the compost facility by any other means must be dumped by the resident, and the resident must take the container with them upon leaving.

Yard Waste Bags are available at no charge at Elyria City Hall (131 Court Street, Elyria, OH 44035) or the Elyria Central Maintenance Garage (851 Garden Street, Elyria, OH 44035).
