At-Home Composters – At Cost!
Through a partnership with Petrolia Home Hardware, residents can purchase an at-home composter for cost each April.
Annually, between the dates of April 1 and 15 residents can visit Town Hall, and register to receive an at-cost backyard composter. Although this price may differ slightly from year to year, the 2023 cost will be $75.00 + HST per composter.
To obtain a voucher, residents must provide: proof of Petrolia address, and payment. At this time, a voucher will be issued to the resident.
After April 15, all composters will be ordered – once the composters are in
