Soil Amendments

Whistler Composting is closing the recycling loop and producing a 100% organic Composted Soil Amendment. Whistler Composting collects food waste from the hospitality and grocery sectors, waste from land clearing, and biosolids. These inputs are composted using the latest in temperature controlled Wright in-vessel composting technology to produce a quality soil amendment. When blended into native soils this Soil Amendment puts nutrients back into the soil.

Whistler Composting Soil Amendment is nutrient rich, screened to 1/2 inch, and is suitable for blending with nutrient deficient native soils or sand, for unrestricted use in gardens, lawns, and landscaping. Composting produces a soil amendment full of micronutrients and beneficial soil microbes, which are essential for healthy plant growth. The temperature controlled composting system guarantees our Soil Amendment is pathogen free and weed free.

Carney’s Waste Systems is the proud reseller of the Soil Amendment and related products produced at the Whistler Compost Facility. The product is currently in use throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor, and in good demand. The product line is available for retail sales at the Whistler Transfer Station, for home and business deliveries please contact our office.
