Book Description

This toolkit was crafted utilizing the knowledge gained from:

  • 2023/24 Saskatchewan Polytechnic Prince Albert Campus On Site Composting Project
  • Consultations with Selkirk and Dawson College regarding their Food Waste Diversion projects that utilized a Dehydrator and Vermicomposting systems.
  • The knowledge of Keri Sapsford, owner of the Backyard and Compost Corner, who operates a windrow system to Compost for her clients in Prince Albert, and was brought on as a Composting expert to manage this project.

Through this toolkit we hope to promote the use of on site composting at sites where composting services are not available. As Composting can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, divert waste from the landfill and utilize a beneficial nutrient resource that would otherwise go to waste it only makes sense to compost as much as possible. The benefits also expand to those who interact with your site as they become aware of nature-based solutions that will regenerate our land and economy.
