The 2026 Garbage to Garden Program helps residents reduce household waste by composting organic materials at home. Participants can apply to receive a composter or digester, with delivery, installation, and on-site training provided by Peterborough County's Waste Management team. The program offers a simple and convenient way to divert organics from landfill while creating nutrient-rich compost for use in gardens and landscaping.

This event has been postponed because of a scheduling conflict. There will be no changes to our office hours on Wednesday June 24, 2026.
