The Manitowoc County Recycling Center is making its annual hour change to county compost sites.

The Recycling Centers Main Office will close on Saturday (November 1st) and will not reopen until April.

The Basswood Road Compost site will now be open Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon.

However, the Woodland Drive Compost Site is closed until 2026. Manitowoc County will still accept items, including brush, branches, and Christmas trees, that are under six inches in diameter and five feet long.

Some items not accepted include treated and untreated lumber, logs or stumps, or construction and demolition waste.

More information about the sites can be found on the recycling center page at manitowoccountywi.gov.
