New Composting Resources for Businesses
December 17, 2025
Here at the Compost Education Centre our education has mostly revolved around supporting residents of the Capital Regional District compost at home. And we have more expertise than that! Over the years we’ve offered informal business consultation, answering many questions from the public about composting at a workplace or at their business. We decided in 2025 to formalize some of this education by offering free “Composting and Food Waste Reduction for Businesses in the CRD” webinars and writing and publishing a free “Composting for Businesses” factsheet to add to our awesome list of other factsheets. Businesses in the Capital Regional District don’t have waste management services provided to them like some municipalities provide for single family dwellings (e.g. curbside garbage and organics collection) so a business is responsible for managing their own waste. Different businesses tackle this in different ways, and there are a few different options with different benefits and drawbacks. To try and provide an overview of possibilities and to provide some context for why waste management for businesses matters, we wrote this Factsheet. Check it out! And we’ve also scheduled a couple more “Composting and Food Waste Reduction for Businesses in the CRD” FREE webinars, so join us on Feb 4 or May 14. See you there.
