The city creates compost using the material collected in food and yard waste bins, along with the city’s Yard Waste Depot.
Residents can drop by the compost site between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., with access from Prince of Wales Drive.
The city noted that the compost depot is a self-serve operation and residents will need to bring their own shovels and containers.
There’s a limit of three five-gallon pails per household. Tarps must be used to secure loads of compost for transport.
