Come to our free Compost Giveaway events from April 29 to May 27

The Region of Durham has teamed up with the area municipalities to offer free compost to residents at special events taking place across the region from April 29 to May 27.

These are self-serve events. Residents must bring a shovel and containers to carry their compost. Quantities are first-come, first-served and limited to four blue boxes of compost per vehicle.

Green bins, blue boxes, blue box lids and backyard composters will also be available for purchase, and broken bins can be exchanged for free. No Cash. Only VISA, Mastercard, debit and e-transfer will be accepted for purchases.

Residents are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item, to be donated to a local food bank (please check that boxes and cans are not damaged, opened or expired).
