When production allows later this summer, the compost will be made available for personal use to individuals free of charge. Compost will be available for pickup: Wednesdays from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. Maryville Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant 4541 Wheeler Road, Louisville, TN 37777 Text or call for availability information: (615) 693-9425 NOTICE: The compost from the City of Maryville’s Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant is sampled and tested in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s and Tennessee’s Department of Environment and Conservation regulatory requirements for land application.
