The Composting at Home Program give residents all the tools and training they need to successfully compost in their own back yards. 

The program has been postponed for 2020, but you can sign up here to receive an email when registration opens. You will be asked to answer some questions, and in the Event Registration section select the "Yes, notify me when the program opens Composting at Home 2020" option and click the green "Submit Registration" button at the bottom. 

Composting tools can be found at your local home building supply store or garden centre. A compost aerating tool like the Wing-Digger retails for around $20, composters for anywhere from $45 to $100+, and the kitchen catcher for around $20.

You can also learn to compost on your own with the tips and tricks found in our How to Compost - Video Series.
