Pick Up the 2025 Park Passport

You can pick up the 'Farmers Market Edition' of the 2025 Park Passport in the Royal Oak Farmers Market office. Now paperback perfect bound with a glossy cover, the new passport is packed with fresh photos, and updated info on all 51 parks.

Bring your compost to the WEST porch of the farmers market between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Look for the bright green bins! 

WHAT CAN GO IN THE BIN:

Acceptable materials include food scraps, BPI* certified materials, coffee and tea. (Download the Royal Oak Recycling Guide (PDF).)

KEEP THESE OUT!

🚫 Plastic & metal 

🚫 Non-BPI certified food containers 

🚫 Plastic bags are our biggest problem—please bring your compost in a compostable bag or a reusable bucket.

*The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) checks if a material can break down safely in compost. If something is BPI-certified, it means it has been tested to make sure it composts properly.
