Net Zero Waste Eastgate Class A Compost is a sustainable, recycled, nutrient-rich soil amendment, that is used to improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil.

Once the individual piles have met certain requirements, in relation to temperature and time spent in process, the compost is passed through a screen to remove any organic matter that has not broken down.
After screening, we are left with Class A Compost.
The Compost is tested regularly, to make sure its chemical and physical composition complies with the standards required to prove 'Class A'.
Our compost is then trucked all across BC, to be used in places like Community Gardens, farmer's fields, and backyard vegetable gardens.
