Grab your shovel and load up free compost in Orillia

City of Orillia offers free compost from July 22 to August 30, 2025.

The City of Orillia has extra compost to give away.

“Residents can pick up compost until August 30, or while supplies last,” the City stated in a Tuesday social media post.

Grab your shovel and containers and load up free compost, now available at Morningstar Park at 1125 Mississaga Street West. Residents must load their own compost, but staff will assist as required with larger, commercial pick-ups.

“This is a great opportunity for residents to enrich their gardens and landscaping with nutrient-rich compost generated through the City’s green bin and yard waste programs,” the City stated.

Compost is no longer available at Kitchener Park, the City added. “We apologize for the inconvenience.”
