Halton Waste Management Site 5400 Regional Road 25, Milton Thanks to the participation of Halton residents, approximately 30,500 tonnes of yard waste was composted last year and turned into rich, garden-friendly compost. Halton residents are invited to come to the Compost Give Away and pick up some of this compost as a "thank you" for diverting this usable material away from the landÍll, thereby extending its life! All Halton households are welcome to collect a maximum of seven bags (or equivalent) of compost. Please bring your own containers (garbage bags, yard waste bags, reusable containers, trailer, etc.) and shovel. Residents are responsible for shoveling and bagging their own compost. Non-perishable food items or cash donations will be gratefully accepted on behalf of Halton area Food Banks. Your donations make a difference! Helpful Hint: When applying compost to your gardens, ensure you blend it with topsoil or another gardening Íll. Recommended application for best growing results is a 60/40 split (60 per cent topsoil and 40 per cent compost).
