No leaf grinding or composting takes place at the facility site. 3. The city contracts with Wallace Farms, Inc. to manage operations at the facility.

The facility is secured by a perimeter chain link fence and unauthorized access is prevented by two locking gates. 6. The site appeared to be in need of maintenance. Kudzu grown over much of the street side facing fencing and
