Compost coaches offer free, at-home instruction

August 31, 2012

Waste-reducers and gardeners can learn more about one of their favourite pastimes without spending a cent, thanks to the Compost Coaching program offered by the North Shore Recycling Program.

Now that colder weather is on the horizon, you might want an experienced composter to visit your home and show you how to manage your compost pile over the winter. You'll also want to ensure it isn't acting as an attractant for bears who should be making hibernation plans, not noshing on your chucked-out apple cores.

Click here to learn more about this free offer - after all, how often do you get the chance to have some one-on-one instruction from an expert, in the comfort of your own backyard? You'll also find info on how to obtain a subsidized bin, if you'd like your Compost Coach to help you set it up and start it going.

The new Green Can program is an easy and effective way to get rid of our organic waste, but backyard composting is still the most eco-friendly and economical way to use up our leftover fruit and veggie scraps. And you can't beat the finished compost for building up the health of your garden soil!
