Composting at home program registration now open
The City of Red Deer is ready to help residents dig in and make compost for their yards and gardens with the annual Composting at Home program.
Warmer temperatures are on the way, and to prepare for gardening season The City of Red Deer is enrolling 100 households to learn how to compost in their own backyards.
Participants will be provided with a free compost bin, aerating tool and kitchen catcher, plus training and ongoing support on how to compost.
“We hear from residents that they are interested in composting, but don’t know how to start,” said Lauren Maris, Environmental Program Specialist, in a news release. “So, we are providing all the tools, training and resources by teaching participants how to compost properly, so smells or pests aren’t a problem.”
