Dig In! Free Compost and Wood Chips Available for Regina Residents
Grab your pails and shovels to take advantage of the free compost and wood chips being offered to Regina residents this week at the Yard Waste Depot.
"We're happy to be able to give away free compost again this year,” said Kim Onrait, Executive Director of Citizen Services for the City of Regina. Compost is great for residents to use at home or in local community gardens for landscaping, flower beds and lawns. It is made using organic material collected through the City’s organic diversion programs. Residents will also be able to load up on unlimited wood chips while supplies last.
