Edmonton Composting Facility

The Edmonton Composting Facility is the site of the City of Edmonton's co-composting system for processing organic waste. Co-composting involves mixing household wastes with biosolids, and using microrganisms to break them down into simple compost. Together with the City's three recycling programs, Edmonton was able to divert 60% of household waste from landfills in 2009. By 2013, the city anticipated that it would divert more than 90% of the city's household waste from the landfills.
