🎉 Carleton Place residents, this one's for you!

The Town of Carleton Place has increased its compost subsidy and is now covering 50% of the annual cost for the next 180 households that sign up for .

👉 That means an annual membership is now just $137.50 (regularly $275).

Our program is an easy way to keep food scraps out of the landfill, create high-quality local compost, and support meaningful employment through our Bucket Brigade.🪣 If you've been thinking about composting, this is a great time to get started.

⏳ The subsidy is available for the first 180 Carleton Place households, so once those spots are claimed, the offer ends.

A big thank you to the Town of for making composting more accessible to our community. 💚

Please note: This subsidy is available to new Just Good Compost customers only and is available exclusively to Carleton Place residents.

Such an amazing program that we are proud to be a part of!

What started as a composting service has grown into something much bigger: a local social enterprise focused on strengthening communities, creating meaningful employment, and keeping food waste out of landfills. 🌱

🪣 Small buckets. Big impact.

Thank you to everyone helping us prove that local action really can change communities and help the planet. 💚

We are excited to be part of this event!

🐾💛 Daphne’s Legacy of Love 💛🐾

Join us for a truly special day as we come together as a community to honour the beautiful life of Daphne while supporting a cause that continues to give dogs a second chance.

This event is more than just a fundraiser — it’s about healing, love and the power of community. Daphne's story has touched so many hearts, and through this event, her legacy will continue to make a meaningful difference.

A message from her family:

"Daphne joined our family after a very hard year — we brought her home as our “healing dog” to heal our hearts after losing our daughter in July 2023. From the start, Daphne has been pure joy: full of energy, completely lacking in spatial awareness (she’ll run into walls and glare at them like they should’ve moved), and generous with the best hugs and slobbery kisses you can imagine. At a little over a year old, she was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma. After a difficult surgery, a tumor was removed from Daphne’s spine. Several months later, Daphne is back to her normal, endless boxer energy and enthusiasm for everything. We are cherishing every moment — every zoomie, every clumsy bump into the furniture, and every hug."
