Manure Share

Overview

Clallam Conservation District's Manure Share Program connects local livestock owners who have excess horse or livestock manure with gardeners and others who want to enrich their soil. This program helps reduce waste while supporting sustainable soil health practices in our community.

How It Works

For people looking for a source of manure:

  1. Access the Supplier List: Local livestock owners have volunteered to be listed as manure suppliers. Their contact details are available through the Conservation District.

  2. Make Arrangements: Contact the supplier directly to schedule pickup. All arrangements are made between the supplier and the person requesting manure.

For horse or livestock owners with excess manure:

  1. Add your name to the Supplier List. The "Supplier List” includes your name, telephone number, and a description of the type of manure (horse, alpaca, composted, etc.) along with the general location of your farm.  Please note and/or mention if you have a tractor available to help load manure. 

User Responsibility & Composting Best Practices

This is a “no guarantees, use at your own risk” service. Manure and compost are generally not certified to be weed-free or organic. The material may not be suitable for all intended uses. 

  • It is important that manure is properly composted before use. Please refer to the Manure Share Program Fact Sheet for important information on using manure and compost. Proper composting kills most weed seeds and bacteria and produces a nutrient rich soil amendment that can be used in lawns, landscape beds and gardens. Visit the WSU Center for Sustaining Agriculture & Natural Resources for more information on composting manure.

  • Clallam Conservation District does not guarantee the quality of the manure provided under this program, nor guarantee any particular result from its use. 

  • Under no circumstances shall Clallam Conservation District be responsible for any loss or damage caused by or resulting from the exchange of manure from this program.
