Thompson’s composting facility has been seeing success not seen in most municipalities.

Director of Public Works, Wayne Koversky says about 50% of composting facilities in Canada have closed their operations. He says it’s mainly due to contamination and lack of popularity.

This is far from what’s happening in Thompson. Koversky says the composting facility has been a huge success this year. He says they’ve been collecting 40 yards worth of matter every two days.  

The facility has even gotten attention from other communities. Koversky says municipalities have asked him how the composting site has kept going. A huge part of that is cooperation from residents.

The e-waste site has been busy this year too. Koversky says they've collected 7 semi-loads of e-waste so far this year, which surpasses last year's total of 6.

There isn’t much time left to contribute. The composting site, and e-waste facilities will be closing for the season at the end of the month.
