Free Compost Giveaway This Weekend
HAMILTON, ON - September 21, 2016 - This Saturday, September 24, the City of Hamilton is hosting a compost giveaway event at two locations in Hamilton.
Each week throughout the year, the City picks up residents’ yard waste as part of the curbside yard waste collection program. After it’s picked up, it’s processed and turned into nutrient-rich compost. Now it’s the City’s turn to give some of the compost back to residents’ for their gardens, plants and lawns.
Residents are asked to bring their own buckets, shovel, and elbow grease to either compost giveaway location starting at 7am (while quantities last):
- Rymal Road Public Works Yard – 308 Rymal Road East
- Brampton Street Public Works Yard – 2200 Brampton Street
Residents are encouraged to bring a monetary donation to the event in support of the United Way of Burlington and Greater Hamilton.
Please note that the compost is not intended for commercial use.
