Get free compost on National Compost Day!
Spring is just around the corner! Time to get back into the garden and prepare the soil for a new growing season. And here’s some great news: we’re here to help with free compost.
From your own soil
With the vegetable, garden, fruit waste, and food scraps you’ve delivered to us, we produced compost and biogas over the past year. As a thank-you for separating your organic waste, we’re offering you free compost made with your help! Residents of the Municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn can collect the compost for free at your local village using your waste pass. These bags of compost will help improve the soil in your garden, giving your plants and flowers a great start this spring.
Where to collect?
On Saturday, March 28, 2026—National Compost Day—you can collect free compost at various locations in our municipality between 8:30 AM and 3:00 PM. At Ecopark, you can already collect compost starting March 23. Show your waste pass to receive a maximum of two bags of compost per household. Supplies are limited, so don’t wait!
