Thanks to the participation of Halton residents, approximately 34,000 tonnes of yard waste was composted last year and turned into rich, garden- friendly compost. Halton residents are invited to pick up some of this compost as a "thank you" for diverting this usable material away from the landfill, 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. Helpful Hint: When applying compost to your gardens, ensure you blend it with topsoil or another gardening fill. Recommended application for best growing results is a 60/40 split (60 per cent topsoil and 40 per cent compost).
