Our composters provide free composting services for multiple neighbourhoods.

Our Community Composting program started in 2017 in the Humber Heights Community Garden and is now active in multiple neighborhoods in Corner Brook.

  • You can start dropping off kitchen scraps at the bins anytime. Each bin has two sides, and you can open any of the doors that aren't locked to dump your scraps.

    The locked sides contain compost that is 'curing'.

  • We take fruit, vegetables, egg shells, old houseplants, coffee, tea, dry grains (rice, bread, pasta, etc) and small bits of paper, egg cartons, etc. Please remove all stickers from fruit and veggies, as well as rubber bands/twist ties.

    Please don't put in meat, seafood, dairy, full eggs, oils, sauces, or large amounts of yard waste (big bags of leaves, twigs).

  • When this compost is finished curing, we sift it, and store it on site so that it's available for participants to use in their own gardens.

Want to become a community partner and host a composter?

WEC provides the compost bins and the know-how, and our partners take care of the compost maintenance. The finished compost goes back to our community gardens and also is available for participants to use.

Our community partners include the City of Corner Brook, Corner Brook Dance Hub, and Grenfell campus, to name a few! Contact info@wecnl.ca to learn more about hosting a composter!

Our bins create finished compost in as little as 6 weeks.

The finished compost is an extremely valuable resource for gardeners, and is offered to project participants and local community gardeners.
