Composters and Rain Barrels

Backyard Composters

Backyard composting is a simple and effective way to manage food waste at home. Managing food and organic waste materials in a backyard unit is the most cost-effective method for organic waste materials and you get a great nutrient rich material to use on your lawn and in your garden.

As a rural community, West Grey residents have a close connection to nature and agriculture, and by leveraging our rural values we can make a positive impact on our waste management and preserve the finite capacity of our landfill sites.

West Grey Municipality sells backyard composters! These are available for purchase at the Municipal office. The composters are $55, payable by cash, cheque or debit.
