MANURE

Because of the large equestrian presence in the Village of Wellington, manure is a significant source of phosphorous in the area and a concern for the South Florida Water Management District. The Village has an ordinance that restricts land application of manure in certain areas and requires anyone transporting manure in Wellington to be a registered hauler. For a list of permitted animal waste haulers contact the Village of Wellington at 753-2430.

The only permitted manure disposal site in the County is BG Katz Nurseries in Boca Raton. See list of Permitted Facilities here.

There are no specific County restrictions. Manure and horse bedding are also accepted at the landfill at the trash rate.
