Free compost on National Compost Day
Residents of Ridderkerk can collect free compost on Saturday, March 28, between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM at Gorzenweg 5-7 in Ridderkerk. This is National Compost Day.
With this initiative, the Municipality of Ridderkerk and composting company Indaver are thanking residents for their contribution to the separation of vegetable, fruit, and garden waste, as well as food scraps. Your processed GFT (organic waste) is now being returned to you in the form of compost.
Compost is excellent for your garden. It helps flowers and plants grow better and is beneficial for the environment. Compost keeps the soil moist and healthy. If you mix compost with garden soil, you can use it for all your garden plants.
Present your waste pass to collect up to two bags of compost for free. Be sure to arrive early, as supplies are limited.
