Compost Sales
Bulk compost is available for the 2024 growing season! Bagged compost is SOLD OUT!
Bulk compost pickups must be scheduled by calling 867-668-8350 ext. 4. Pickups are scheduled for Tuesday – Friday ONLY.
Bagged compost is sold out; however, residents may bring their own reusable 20L containers to the Waste Management Facility during regular hours and self-fill their containers for the same price as bagged compost ($6 per 20L container). A small number of bags will be available for purchase at the Fireweed Market on select dates (see below).
New this year — Compost sales at the Fireweed Market while supplies last!
Look for the City of Whitehorse tent on Thursdays at the Fireweed Market to purchase some locally made compost! Each bag is $6. Cash only please and thanks.

The City offers two formats for compost to meet your needs:
- Bagged compost for small-scale garden projects
- Bulk compost for bigger projects such as landscaping and agriculture
We have two types of bulk compost available:
- Compost
- Mixed compost (blend of compost + sand)
Which product do I need? What’s the difference between compost and mixed compost?
- Compost product is ideal for adding to existing soil to condition and add nutrients.
- Mixed compost (blend of compost and sand) is ideal for empty garden boxes, new gardens, and lawn applications. Vegetable and flower gardeners sometimes add peat moss to the blended product too.
Reminder: Bulk compost pickups must be scheduled by calling 867-668-8350 ext. 4.

The City’s compost facility has been producing a superior product and defying beliefs that composting north of 60° is difficult or even impossible. Our compost meets the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) standard, making it approved for use in organic operations.
Note: A friendly reminder that what you feed your Green Cart helps us produce our OMRI-certified compost! Please keep contaminants out!
