Backyard compost bins are available at wholesale pricing at select stores in the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) until March 25, 2021. Composting is a great way to reduce your garbage by up to 30% while creating plant food for your garden.

The wholesale cost per bin is $49.50 plus tax. Bins purchased by March 25 at participating stores can be collected at the place of purchase starting Earth Day, April 22.

Participating locations include Penticton and Oliver Canadian Tire, Penticton GardenWorks, Penticton Home Hardware, Keremeos Home Building Centre and Summerland Timber Mart.

Throughout March, the RDOS is hosting a series of free online workshops on recycling, worm composting and backyard composting. To register, please visit the link below:
