The composters are an ideal size for apartments, condominiums and townhouses. Two hundred of these units will be available.
Organic material makes up one-third of all household waste.
By composting at home, residents can help significantly reduce landfill-bound waste which helps the environment, and reduces municipal collection costs. The worm composter program is part of the City's ongoing backyard compost bin distribution program, which has put more than 29,000 composters into Vancouver backyards to date. More than 2,500 worm composters have been sold in previous years. If you are a Vancouver resident and interested in owning 500 of your very own worms, call the Compost Hotline at 736-2250 . You can send us e-mail .
