Issues at the compost site caused the City of Great Bend to release a press release Monday on the proper usage of the site south of town. Permitted by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the compost site is only permitted to take trees, tree limbs, grass and leaves. City Administrator Logan Burns said the compost site has been receiving banned material such as construction material, processed lumber, tires, household trash and even dead animals.
