One composter per customer. Last year, the City sold 4,000 composters in a similar sale. More than 22,000 composters have been sold since the inception of the City's Compost Bin Distribution Program in 1990. The City of Vancouver supports composting because it reduces the amount of waste picked up at the curb and transported to the Vancouver Landfill. Backyard composting saves tax dollars spent on municipal collection and disposal, and benefits the environment.
