Composting

Compost bins in Quesnel

Composting can reduce your household waste by 30%. If everyone composted, it would  dramatically reduce the amount of garbage that ends up in the landfill. At our landfill, it is difficult to separate compost from other inorganic materials. Most waste arriving at the landfill site is mixed.

In partnership with Baker Creek Enhancement Society, the City is making it easier for you to compost!

Where can I get a compost bin?

Compost bins are readily available at most garden shops, hardware stores, and building supply stores. As with anything, prices vary according to product features, size and quality. Be sure to shop and compare.

Not all compost bins are created equal. Determine your needs and expectations, and then find a compost bin that will meet them. With a few materials and a little effort, you can build one yourself.
