Community Composter
Looking for somewhere to compost? If you don't have somewhere in your yard and would like to use a Community space, you can find two composters within the St. John's neighbourhood. One is in our Community Garden in a vacant lot on the East side of Salter Street just North of St. John's Avenue or another site at Ralph Brown Community Centre (currently under construction).
Feel free to use some of the composted material for your gardens as well!
