Composting in Mount Pleasant
We want to compost-- but we don't have anywhere to keep a compost bucket, or anywhere to dump the contents of the bucket. We tried Bokashi, which is a fabulous system, except we don't have anywhere to bury the compost (Bokashi requires burying for a period of time). Our neighbourhood also has its share of rats.
Anyone have any ideas about where we could take our food scraps, etc?

There is a community garden
There is a community garden at Tea Swamp Park at Sophie and 16th - they might have a compost going that you could contribute to!

Hi,
My little family of three had a worm composting system in our apartment that was of no bother at all. We just took a giant Rubbermaid container (70 gallon, I think) and got started with wormies. There are a ton of sites online that can tell you more about it. Good luck!

If there's a community
If there's a community garden near you, they might have composting facilities and accept donations. I've heard larger gardens like Strathcona might do that, but I don't know of any gardens specifically in Mount Pleasant that do this (though the gardens must surely exist). Also, it sounds like the sort of thing QE Park could (should?) do.
