About this site
BrickMarketCo is an independent, non-commercial reference focused on backyard composting and household organic waste in Canada.
What this site covers
The pages here describe how home composting works in practice: the common methods, how to balance the materials you add, and habits that keep food and yard waste out of the garbage. The focus is on Canadian conditions, where cold winters and widespread municipal green-bin programs both shape how households handle organics.
How the content is written
Articles are written in plain language and kept to information that can be confirmed against public references such as government waste-reduction pages and university extension material. Where exact figures vary by region or are not consistently reported, the text describes the general pattern rather than citing a precise number.
What this site is not
This is not a shop and does not sell composting equipment. It does not represent any municipality, agency, or manufacturer. Collection rules, accepted materials, and bylaws differ across provinces and cities, so local programs remain the authority for what they accept.
Corrections
Composting guidance and municipal rules change over time. If you spot something inaccurate or outdated, you can reach the editors through the contact form on the home page. Each article shows the date it was last reviewed.
