Compost Giveaway Details

Compost Giveaway
May 8–10, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., while quantities last

To thank Winnipeg residents for giving us their yard waste, we are giving away free compost, from our yard waste collection service!

Only Winnipeg residents are eligible to receive free compost. Compost giveaway is limited to 100 L per vehicle or five 19-litre/5 gallon pails per vehicle.

Locations

  • 1901 Brady Road (next to Brady 4R Winnipeg Depot)
  • Kilcona Dog Park, west parking lot off McIvor Avenue (line up on Norris Road, south McIvor Avenue)
  • Summit Road closed landfill site, Summit Road north of Optimist Park

How to Get Your Compost Safely

Residents must:

  • Bring your own containers, shovel, and gloves – prepare to get a little dirty
  • Pack and carry your own compost. Our employees will not be available to assist customers
  • Only one vehicle will be allowed per compost pile at a time. There can be a waiting period.

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.
