Brome Compost
Remote communities in Québec face unique challenges when it comes to managing organic waste: long distances from treatment centers, high transportation costs, and limited infrastructure. Yet, solutions do exist.
Thanks to RECYC-QUÉBEC’s Support Program for Isolated Communities, these municipalities can access technical and financial assistance to develop local solutions such as composting—initiatives tailored to their specific realities.
Why Focus on Composting?
Composting is a practical, sustainable, and accessible answer to the challenges of organic waste management. It helps to:
- Reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills
- Limit the environmental impacts of landfilling and incineration
- Lower transportation costs
- Produce quality compost to enrich the soil
- Protect groundwater and deter unwanted wildlife
Tangible Benefits
At Brome Compost, we’ve seen the positive impact of composting in communities such as Landrienne, Pikogan, Listiguj, and Inukjuak. When properly implemented, composting becomes a driver of the circular economy—transforming waste into valuable resources for the community.
A Golden Opportunity
RECYC-QUÉBEC’s program offers up to $19 million in funding for eligible projects, available until March 31, 2027, or until funds are exhausted. This is an excellent opportunity to adopt sustainable practices suited to northern realities.
