Managing organics through composting
is catching on across the Prairies:
• Municipalities are extending
the life of their landfills and creating rich soil amendments for civic
parks, flower
displays, sportsfields, and golf courses—and for sale to their
residents!
• Livestock
producers are finding
that composted manure is much easier to handle, does not spread weed
seeds,
improves soil texture, and retains nutrients in the soil!
• Businesses that previously paid
to have their organic waste hauled away are managing their materials
on-site,
producing a valuable by-product!
• Research across the Prairies
is increasing our understanding of the best ways to produce and use
compost in our unique
yearly climate cycle!
Composting can be the key for turning a waste
management problem into a
resource management opportunity!

This exciting industry grows as individual
operators reach beyond diverting organics from landfills to focus
on
• producing
top-quality products
• earning
customer confidence, and
• building
their local markets
