The Hastings compost site will be ready to return to all-day use as soon as the replacement for the arm that was damaged by vandals is functioning like it should. The city will again issue code numbers to Hastings residents to allow entry to drop off yard waste.

Deputy City Manager Jerry Czarnecki said the site on West State Road will be open from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. today (Wednesday) and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

Also, the city will replace the camera at the site with one with larger capacity than the one that failed to get an image of the vandal(s) because the card was full, Czarnecki said.
