Yard Waste and Composting

Fall Yard Waste Depots

Fall Compost sites are open October 10th, 2025 and close November 10th, 2025. 
Kincardine Location is at 520 Bruce Ave. and the Tiverton location is on McLaren St. behind the arena.

Compostable materials should be in brown bags. Acceptable materials include:

• • Grass cuttings (not recently treated with pesticides or herbicides)
  • Leaves
  • Sod
  • Deadhead flowers and dead bulbs
  • Bush and shrub trimmings
  • Smaller twigs and untreated woodchips
  • Burned wood ashes
  • Peat pots and non-plastic plant trays
  • Fallen birds’ nests
  • Cut burlap sacks after use as pot and bedding liners

Not accepted: plastic items, large tree limbs, or tree stumps.

Please have your contents in brown paper leaf bags. The bin door will remain open, and we ask residents to walk items to the back of bin rather than placing at front to utilize space. Bins will be switched out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

PLEASE, if the bin(s) are full, wait to add your waste until there's a new bin. We'll have 1 bin at the Tiverton site and 3 at the Kincardine site.

Please, do not leave any garbage at these sites. The additional waste means staff hours and machinery costs to clean it up. These additional costs mean there's less budget for opening these sites in the future, if at all.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
