Information on the GMSC’s compost product and site hours of operation can be obtained directly from its website (www.gmsc.nb.ca) or by contacting the Compost Facility directly at 875-7307 or 387-6884. The Greater Moncton Sewerage Commission (www.gmsc.nb.ca) was established in 1983 to support the wastewater collection and treatment needs of the Dieppe, Moncton and Riverview tri-community. Since then, it has developed a 35-kilometre collection network and a treatment facility to best deliver on this mandate. It has also become a leader in the reuse of biosolids through the generation of type ‘AA’ compost (the highest grade currently achieved in Canada) as opposed to disposal in a landfill site. The organization is now positioning itself to further upgrade its facilities to provide an enhanced secondary treatment approach that will allow it to meet recently introduced mandatory federal regulations prior to the 2020 deadline.
