How Roseridge turns waste into Category A compost

At Roseridge Waste Management Commission, every green cart plays a part.
Through our Class I open windrow composting system, Roseridge processes more than 14,000 tonnes of organics each yearm turning food scraps, yard waste, and other organic material into high-quality Category A compost.

How Does Compost Improve Working Soil?

Healthy soil is built over time.

Roseridge has launched a multi-year agriculture trial on farmland beside our site to measure how Category A compost improves working soil and crop performance. Six tonnes per acre have been applied and will be tracked across multiple growing seasons to monitor changes in soil structure, biology, and productivity.

This project takes a balanced approach. Compost adds carbon and biological activity that strengthen soil health, while conventional nutrients provide the precision growers rely on for consistent yields. Together, they support stronger, more resilient farmland.

This video explains how the project began in November, how the trial is structured, and what we expect to learn as the data develops over time.

At Roseridge, we see waste as a resource. This project shows how that resource can be returned to the land to benefit agriculture and the region.
