Compostable Solid Waste

Curbside collection of a reasonable amount of compostables (typically 6 yard bags plus a kitchen waste bin) occurs every Friday.  For more information this solid waste stream, check out this brochure! 

Invasive species must be disposed of at landfills or transfer stations. See the section on Invasive Species under the Community heading for more information.   To reduce mess and odours, line your kitchen compostables bin with certified compostable cellulose lined paper bags, ordinary paper bags, newspaper, shredded paper or paper towel.  Buyers of certified compostable plastic bags beware! If the package does not have a Canadian or US compostable logo, they are not acceptable and could lead to contamination of the entire load.  Only buy packages that have these COMPOSTABLE logos:
