TransAqua Celebrates 20 Years of Composting with 2025 Open House
RIVERVIEW, N.B. – TransAqua, the Greater Moncton Wastewater Commission, is inviting the public to its 2025 Compost Facility Open House on Saturday, June 21, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the compost facility located at 399 Delong Drive, Moncton.
This year marks a major milestone for TransAqua: 20 years of transforming biosolids into high-quality compost, contributing to the circular economy and supporting environmental sustainability. Since 2005, TransAqua has diverted biosolids from disposal and reused them to produce nutrient-rich compost—certified Category A by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME), the highest compost standard in Canada.
As part of this annual community event, residents of Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview are welcome to pick up free compost. Visitors can self-load their own vehicles or containers at no cost. For those who prefer assistance, TransAqua staff will be available to load pickup trucks or small trailers for a flat fee of $7 per tractor bucket.
“We’re proud to give back to the community,” said Kevin Rice, General Manager “It’s our way of supporting local farmers, gardens and green spaces while supporting the beneficial reuse of biosolids and closing the loop on the green circular economy.”
More information on compost availability and quality can be found at:www.transaqua.ca/environment/compost or by calling (506) 387-7977.
Please note: Compost is only available at the Delong Drive Compost Facility and not at the Riverview Wastewater Treatment Facility.
