City Celebrates Compost Awareness Week by Giving Back Compost and Wood Chips to Residents

In celebration of Compost Awareness Week, the City of Regina is giving back compost and wood chips to Regina residents, while supplies last.

Residents are encouraged to bring pails and shovels to collect nutrient-rich compost ideal for gardens, flower beds, and landscaping projects. Compost is made using organic material collected through the Food and Yard Waste Service (green carts) and the Yard Waste Depot.

Dates and Location:

• May 8-11 at 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
• The compost site is near the Yard Waste Depot on Fleet Street, directly across the road from the landfill. The entrance will be marked.

 Guidelines:

• This is a self-serve depot
• Bring your own shovel and containers
• Limit three, 5-gallon pails per household
• Tarp and secure loads when transporting
• Signs will be posted to direct traffic flow
• Limited quantities available
