Sustainability initiatives

Annual Freecycle Days

The Sustainability Advisory Committee has selected two weekends yearly as Freecycle Days in Kenora. Freecycle Days are the perfect opportunity to clean up your house or garage by giving good used stuff a new home and keeping it out of the landfill.

On Saturday and Sunday of every Victoria Day (May) weekend and Labour Day (September) weekend, mark your used but valuable goods with a “FREE” sign and place items on the curbside, front walk, or back lane over the weekend for others to take for free. Please remove your remaining items from the curbside by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Backyard composter program

The Sustainability Advisory Committee has launched a backyard composting program. As part of the City’s community-wide Sustainability Action Plan, community members expressed that composting is important and should be further explored. Backyard composters were available to the first 100 people who registered. 

Those who take part in backyard composting will provide feedback on the composting experience to the Sustainability Advisory Committee. The Committee will evaluate the feedback to develop future local composting initiatives. 

The Committee hosted a Composting Open House on April 5 to help kick-start the backyard composting journey. During this event, successful recipients picked up their composter, and asked questions about getting started.
