Today we are doing something different; we are taking a tour of the City of Franklin 's Compost Facility here in Middle Tennessee. As you all know, I love adding Compost and all it's benefit to my lawn. It changes the composition of the soil and increases nitrogen and other nutrients. The City of Franklin was gracious enough to allow us to visit and tour their facility. I would highly recommend looking for similar facilities in your city or municipality.

If you live in or near the Middle Tennessee area, here's some information about our facility:

1: Open to the public: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:00am to 2:00pm. Please call to confirm availability

2: They only load open bed trucks, dump trucks, and trailers

3: Address: 1116 Incinerator Rd, Franklin, TN 37064

4: $20 Vouchers can be purchased at City Hall located at 109 3rd Ave South, Franklin, TN 37064. Each voucher is good for one (1) Cubic Yard of compost.

For more information you can contact the Compost Facility Manager, Todd King, at:

** CORRECTION FROM THE VIDEO **
The leaves collected by the compost facility was:
3380 yards not bags and they collected over 14,000 yards of leaves this year, not bags.

Thanks again to Todd King, James Crafton, and the City of Franklin for allowing me to spend a few hours learning more about this great facility!
