For years the Town of Aurora has held an annual Compost Giveaway Day in May.
Residents would arrive at the works yard with a bin and shovel up some compost for their use as a return on contributing to the town’s yard waste collection.
The set-up at the Joint-Oops Centre made this an easy in and out process, it was a well received and attended community service.
Here is the facebook post from last year’s event, where the compost was for some reason (but not communicated) pre-bagged:
So, go and check when the compost giveaway day is this year and there is nothing.
Just radio silence, and the previous URL takes you to a page where there is no mention of the initiative, like it never existed.
WTF?
Information is like compost; it does no good unless you spread it around.
The very least the town could do when choosing to to discontinue a service is to communicate to residents.
Was council even made aware?
I guess communicating a service cut is of little interest to our “strong” mayor as it lacks an opportunity for taking a selfie while spewing hashtags about getting things done.
How does this contribute to the town’s several environmental initiatives. Where the local compost was returned to residents it now has to be shipped in in increasing amounts, consuming more carbon to do so.
