The city of Calgary is once again offering free compost to citizens to help improve garden growth. This will be the eighth year the city has done it.

 

 

 

Natalia Gonzalez, Waste Diversion Specialist for the city, tells CJWE that people could start booking online to pick up compost as early as Tuesday, March 31.
