Using the Compost
Compost is a natural fertilizer that promotes vegetation growth and is often used on lawns and in gardens.
For best results, mix one-part compost with three parts soil.
Adding compost to your soil can help:
- Save water
- Improve soil structure
- Add micronutrients
- Create better conditions for plant growth
- Reduce plant diseases
About the Compost
The yard waste we collect is taken to the Brady Road Resource Management Facility and turned into a nutrient-rich material called compost.
This compost meets Category A standards under the CCME Guideline for Compost Quality, which is safe to use in all household applications, including vegetable gardens.
