Question: How are you supporting other local businesses?
Answer: We are the local composting facility located on the Sunshine Coast. We turn waste that local residents and businesses produce and turn it into high-quality compost. We take feedstock every day from all 4 governmental organizations including the Town of Gibsons, the District of Sechelt, the Sunshine Coast Regional District, and the shíshálh Nation. We also have a close partnership with all local landscapers and other businesses including Tymax Industries, Ryan Service Contracting Ltd, Human Nature Landscaping, Quality Farms, and Creekers Containers to name a few.
