Subsidy for home composters
MRC de Roussillon offers a subsidy program for the purchase of a home composter to encourage people to try composting. This subsidy allows you to claim a refund of 50% of the purchase cost of your composter up to $100.
Thanks to your composter, you will be able to produce rich compost that will aid plant growth while reducing use of chemical pesticides and fertilizer.
Features of a good composter
- Have no bottom
- Provide good aeration
- Have a lid
- Be easy to turn compost
Types of composters
- Wood composters are the most eco-friendly solution.
- A composter with two chambers makes it easier to manage compost. This allows you to add fresh organic waste to one chamber while compost matures in the other.
