Fall 2019 Compost & Woodchip Giveaway

HAMILTON, ON – The City of Hamilton has a compost and woodchip giveaway planned this weekend at two Public Works Yard locations.

Each week throughout the year, the City picks up residents’ yard waste as part of the curbside yard waste collection program. After it’s picked up, it’s processed and turned into nutrient-rich compost. Every year, the City gives some of the compost back to residents for gardens, plants and lawns.

Residents are asked to bring their own buckets or containers, shovel, and elbow grease to the giveaway location starting at 7 am (while quantities last).

Compost and woodchip giveaway events:

Saturday, October 5, 2019

• Rennie/Brampton Public Works Yard, 2200 Brampton Street, Hamilton
• Rymal Road Public Works Yard, 308 Rymal Road, East, Hamilton

The compost and woodchips are for use by residents and are not intended for commercial businesses.

Cash donations will be collected at each site to support Hamilton Food Share.
