Spring Compost sites
Spring compost sites open on April 29th through to May 21st, 2024 with locations at:
- 510 Bruce Avenue in Kincardine (3 bins)
North side of Tiverton and District Sports Complex (1 bin) - We will be using the bin system we introduced in the fall of 2023.
Please have your contents in brown paper leaf bags. The bin door will remain open, and we ask residents to walk items to the back of bin rather than placing at front to utilize space and to help staff when switching bins.
Bins will be switched out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. PLEASE, if the bin(s) are full, wait to add your waste until there's a new bin.
Compostable materials should be in compost bags and acceptable materials include:
- leaves
- grass cuttings, not recently treated with pesticides or herbicides
- sod
- deadhead flowers and dead bulbs
- bush and shrub trimmings
- smaller twigs and woodchips (untreated)
- burned wood ashes
- peat pots and non-plastic plant trays
- fallen birds nests
- cut burlap sacks after use as pot and bedding liners
- NO plastic items
- NO large tree limbs
- NO tree stumps
Please, do not leave any yard waste (or other garbage) at these sites, especially once they're closed for the season. The additional waste means staff hours and machinery costs to clean it up. These additional costs mean there's less budget for opening these sites in the future, if at all.
Compost can be taken year-round to the Armow Waste Management Centre when the temporary compost/yard waste depot sites are not open.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
