Wood Worm Farms

On Saturday we reached an agreement with a recently opened Eco-quartier of Pierrefonds-Roxboro - the closest to us office of Montreal's eco-quartier initiative.

Now the local residents can get help with vermicomposting and use our beginner - friendly wooden bins.

What is an Éco-quartier? Created by the city of Montréal in 1997, the program allocates funds to local environmental groups in different boroughs to manage an office from which they can do environmental outreach and awareness projects in the community. There are now 19 Éco-quartiers on the island of Montréal, and Pierrefonds-Roxboro will be the 20th. Each Éco-quartier office has four principal mandates: sound waste management, cleanliness, urban ecology and beautification, but don't confuse them with the Éco-Centers, which are the places where we bring our hazardous wastes and large items for proper recycling or disposal.
