Composting

In the last ten years there has been a concerted effort to make the system of collecting garbage and sorting recyclable materials for further use. Our dump (land fill site) is state of the art and we the people benefit from the effort to redirect usable materials. All across Canada there is a move to use the science to make us aware of the impact we have on our environment. Large cities and small villages are doing their part to make it work.

As a believer in the science and a follower of re cycling mode I have since the opportunity availed itself made the pilgrimage to the landfill site to reap the benefits of the program. Every year Theresa and I go to the land fill site and bring a donation to the food bank and load up with compost. They say seven bags but since I use barrels I get large bags of compost. It has made my garden and trees very happy and we look forward every year to belong to the program.

Our town has being doing this for 11 years and every year I have been a participant. The difference is that eleven years ago there were a few people and now there is a lineup. What a wonderful way to make garbage a viable product and everyone who participates a winner. We love the program and wish everyone would join.
