Composting

Composting helps eliminate yard waste and kitchen scraps from landfills. This waste is put into an environment that encourages decay, and the product is used to enrich lawns and gardens.

Composting can help households remove more than 500 lbs of waste per year.

Central Elgin offers Earth Machine backyard composters at cost, $35.00 plus HST. These composters have a retail value of approximately $100.

Composters can be purchased at the Central Elgin Municipal Offices in the Elgin County Admin Bldg, 450 Sunset Drive, Monday-Friday, from 8:30-4:30.
