If you’re looking forward to some spring gardening, grab a shovel and some bags.
Starting Friday, the City of Thunder Bay is handing out free compost at the Solid Waste and Recycling Facility. The compost is only available while supplies last, so get yours quick.
“Just in time for the long weekend, free compost is now available for Thunder Bay residents,” said Jason Sherband, Manager of Solid Waste & Recycling Services. “The leaf and yard waste from our curbside collection program is blended with organic waste directly dropped of by residents at our site and then ultimately turned into soil enriching compost. It’s a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers, and great for landscaping, flower beds and lawns.”
The compost pick-up area is located east of the old landfill entrance on John Street. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 6 pm, and Saturdays from 8:30 am to 4 pm.
