City CompostIf you need more compost for your yard, the City produces and sells its own compost at the Vancouver Landfill in Delta. More than 45,000 tonnes of yard and garden trimmings collected from residences, streets and parks are composted annually at the landfill. Composting helps conserve landfill space and creates a valuable product. About 18,000 tonnes of compost is produced each year and used for City parks and boulevards and sold to the public. How to buy City compostCompost is sold at: Vancouver Landfill
Small quantities of compost can be picked up from the Landfill. Shovels are available on site, but you will need to bring your own containers. A loader is available to load residential vehicles anytime between 7:30 am and 4:45 pm daily at the Residential Drop Off area. For quantities over 11m³, a loader is available from 7:30 am and 5:00 pm daily at the Composting site. Large quantities of compost can be delivered. For customers wanting to share a load, compost can be dropped in two locations for an additional charge provided they are reasonably close to each other. Requests for compost donations are typically granted for community-based projects, such as community gardens, and for public projects on public lands in Vancouver and Delta. Please call 604.940.3213 for more information or to make arrangements for delivery. Products and pricesScreened Compost: most commonly used by residential gardeners For more information: 604.940.3213
