♻️ Community composting
How does the composting site work?
The Grosbreuil community composting platform is open to all local residents. Here's how to get involved in just a few simple steps.
1
Collect your food waste
Vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, eggshells, leftovers, wilted flowers… Keep them in your kitchen caddy at home.
2
Bring it to the platform
Drop off your caddy during one of our open sessions (Wednesdays and Saturdays, 10am–12pm). A volunteer will welcome and guide you.
3
Nature does the rest
Your waste is mixed into the compost row with wood chippings (1 caddy to 3 volumes of chippings). Heat and micro-organisms take care of the rest!
4
Collect your compost
A few months later, you can pick up finished compost for your garden — a free, natural, locally-made fertiliser!
