advantage�of�the�diversion�options�that�Haldimand�County�offers�you.

Through� the� redevelopment� of� the� Canborough� Waste� ManagementFacility,�you�now�have�more�ways�to�divert�your�waste.�For�example,�that�oldplastic�patio�furniture�can�now�be�recycled�in�the�bulky�plastic�bin�and�yourbathroom�renovation�waste�can�now�be�recycled�in�the�construction�anddemolition�bin.�By�doing�this,�residents�have�increased�the�diversion�rate�atCanborough�by�more�than�10%,�saving�landfill�space�which�is�becomingminimal�in�Ontario.

Composting TipsComposting�is�a�natural�process�in�which�organic�materials�decompose,�andbecome�a�nutrient-rich�soil�amendment.�It�aids�erosion�control,�promotes�soilfertility,�and�stimulates�healthy�root�development.�Your�lawn�and�garden�willlove�it!

Here�are�some�common�composting�questions:

How�long�will�it�take�to�compost?• Composting�can�take�from�3�to�18�months,�depending�upon�how�well�thepile�is�maintained.

• A�dry�or�frozen�pile�decomposes�more�slowly,�as�does�one�that�is�neverturned.

• A�one-inch�(2.5�cm)�layer�of�finished�compost�or�garden�soil�spread�ontop�of�kitchen�scraps�will�speed�things�up.

• Compost�is�ready�when�its�texture�is�crumbly�and�it�has�a�pleasant,�earthysmell.

How�do�I�ensure�our�compost�doesn’t�smell�unpleasant?• Avoid�composting�meat,�fish�or�dairy�items,�as�well�as:�bones,�pet�waste/litter,�cooking�oil,�rhubarb�leaves,�and�toxic�or�diseased�plants�and�weeds.

• Aerate�compost�regularly�by�turning�it.• Add�dry�materials�if�it�is�too�wet.• Shredded�paper�is�a�great�addition�to�compost�that�is�too�wet.• Bury�fruit�and�vegetable�trimmings�at�least�6�inches�(15�cm)�deep.
