Home composting is an easy way to get quality compost and reduce the quantity of household waste. But did you know you can get free compost in your neighbourhood?

Distribution days

Many boroughs distribute plants free of charge each year, including annual flowers, perennial plants and kitchen herbs. Others offer vegetable plants, shrubs, compost and even mulch. 

In most cases, there are two distributions each year  —  one in the spring and one in the fall. They are reserved for borough residents.
