Monarch Joint Venture's Prairie Oaks campus is a compost drop site for the Belle Plaine, MN community. We are collecting compost from local households, schools, businesses and other institutions, and turning that waste into compost onsite at Prairie Oaks. This program is supported by Scott County and started in January 2026.
Participants receive a "starter kit" including a supply of compostable bags, a kitchen compost pail, and a 5-gallon bucket for transporting their compost to Prairie Oaks. We also host tours and site visits for participating groups.
Reach out to organics@monarchjointventure.org with any questions.
